To amend the Food Stamp Act of 1977 to permit participating households
to use food stamp benefits to purchase nutritional supplements of vita-
mins, minerals, or vitamins and minerals.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 4, 1995
Mr. EMERSON introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Agriculture
A BILL
To amend the Food Stamp Act of 1977 to permit participat-
ing households to use food stamp benefits to purchase
nutritional supplements of vitamins, minerals, or vita-
mins and minerals.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) The dietary patterns of Americans do not
result in nutrient intakes that fully meet Rec-
ommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) of vitamins
and minerals.
HR 236 IH
(2) The elderly often fail to achieve adequate
nutrient intakes from diet alone.
(3) Pregnant women have particularly high nu-
trient needs, which they often fail to meet through
dietary means alone.
(4) Many scientific studies have shown that nu-
tritional supplements that contain folic acid (a B vi-
tamin) can prevent as many as 60 to 80 percent of
neural tube birth defects. The Public Health Service,
in September 1992, recommended that ‘‘all women
of childbearing age in the United States who are ca-
pable of becoming pregnant should consume 0.4 mg
of folic acid per day for the purpose of reducing
their risk of having a pregnancy affected with spina
bifida or other neural tube birth defects.’’ The Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) has also approved
a health claim for folic acid to reduce the risk of
neural tube birth defects.
(5) Infants who fail to receive adequate intakes
of iron may be somewhat impaired in their mental
and behavioral development.
(6) Children in low-income families often fail to
achieve nutritional goals from diet alone.
(7) A massive volume of credible scientific evi-
dence strongly suggests that increasing intake of
HR 236 IH
specific nutrients over an extended period of time
may be helpful in protecting against diseases or con-
ditions such as osteoporosis, cataracts, cancer, and
heart disease.
SEC. 2. AMENDMENT.
Section 3(g)(1) of the Food Stamp Act of 1977 (7
U.S.C. 2012(g)(1)) is amended by striking ‘‘or food prod-
uct’’ and inserting ‘‘food product, or nutritional supple-
ments of vitamins, minerals, or vitamins and minerals.’’
