The Food and Nutrition Delivery Safety Act of 2026 requires the federal government to establish safety standards for grocery stores and food retailers that offer online ordering and delivery services to people using SNAP benefits (the federal food assistance program). Within 18 months of the bill's passage, federal agencies must create standards protecting customers' digital privacy and cybersecurity when using online platforms, as well as standards ensuring food stays safe during delivery and that delivery workers receive fair wages and safe working conditions. Retailers accepting SNAP benefits must then comply with these standards and submit reports proving compliance within the following 18 months. Stores that fail to meet the standards will lose their authorization to accept SNAP benefits, though they can reapply once they demonstrate compliance. The bill affects millions of SNAP recipients who rely on food assistance, as well as grocery retailers and food delivery services operating in the program.
