Michigan Ebt Eligible Food Items List
The Michigan Ebt Eligible Food Items List outlined below has been approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This is because the Food Stamp/SNAP program is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

- Sweets and Bakery Items – USDA also allows cookies, cakes, pies, donuts, bread and other bakery items to be purchased with food stamp.
- Energy Drinks – Currently, the only energy drinks that have a nutrition facts label are eligible to be purchased with Ebt card. According to the USDA, any energy drinks with a supplement facts label are classified as supplements by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Therefore they are not eligible in the food stamp purchase list.
- Packaged Sandwiches and Deli Foods – The only packaged sandwiches and deli foods that are cold, and also that will be eaten at home, can be purchased with food stamps at a deli, grocery or convenience store. Packaged sandwiches and deli foods include chicken, salads, sliced deli meat and regular sandwiches.
Some convenience stores that accept food EBT cards will display a graphic or picture of EBT card on the storefront or at the cash register.
