This grant, the Healthy Fluid Milk Incentives (HFMI) Cooperative Agreement Project, aims to enhance the nutritional well-being of SNAP households. Its core purpose is to research and implement strategies that effectively increase the purchase and consumption of specific fluid milk products. Participants will explore methods to provide point-of-purchase incentives to SNAP beneficiaries at approved retail locations. The qualifying milk must be unflavored, unsweetened, pasteurized cow’s milk, align with current dietary guidelines, be in liquid form, and meet FDA, State, and local vitamin A and D fortification standards. This initiative seeks to improve healthy eating habits among vulnerable populations by making nutritious dairy options more accessible and affordable.
