Florida SNAP’s restriction on soda, candy, and certain cookies/desserts was set to take effect on April 20, 2026 , after the state’s implementation date was changed from Jan. 1, 2026. The USDA’s Florida waiver page says the approval covers soda, energy drinks, candy, and prepared desserts for a two- year period starting Jan. 1, 2026, with the implementation date moved to April 20, 2026.

For the specific items you named:

  • Candy: not covered on SNAP in Florida starting April 20, 2026.
  • Soda: not covered starting April 20, 2026.
  • Cookies: some shelf-stable prepared desserts and similar ultra-processed items are included in the restriction, and Florida reporting specifically mentions cookie products being part of the “fine tuning” discussion.

If you mean “when will Florida restore them,” there’s no sign in the sources I found that Florida plans to restore those items to SNAP anytime soon; the current policy is a restriction, not a temporary pause.
