Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act

AI-Generated Summary

Updated April 29, 2026 at 9:47 AM UTC

The Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act changes the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to include hot rotisserie chicken as an eligible item under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This amendment expands the definition of foods that SNAP participants can purchase, specifically adding hot rotisserie chicken to the list of allowed items.

Key Provisions

Amends Section 3(k)(1) of the Food and Nutrition Act to insert “hot rotisserie chicken and” before the phrase “those authorized,” thereby making hot rotisserie chicken a SNAP‑eligible food.
Updates the language in the same section by replacing the word “clauses” with “paragraphs” and removing the phrase “of this subsection,” which are minor wording adjustments.
