Supporting all Healthy Options when Purchasing Produce Act of 2025 or the SHOPP Act of 2025
This bill modifies the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP) to include fresh frozen fruits and vegetables.
GusNIP is a Department of Agriculture (USDA) program that provides grants for projects that increase low-income consumers' purchases of fruits and vegetables. It is made up of three competitive grant programs, including the GusNIP Nutrition Incentive Program, which provides grants for projects that provide incentives for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants to purchase fruits and vegetables.
Showing the opening paragraphs of the official summary.
The bill directs USDA, in awarding GusNIP Nutrition Incentive Program grants, to give priority to projects that increase year-round availability of nutrition incentives by offering fresh frozen fruits or vegetables in the program.
In addition, the bill amends another GusNIP program, the Produce Prescription Program, to include fresh frozen fruits and vegetables, as well as fresh and fresh frozen legumes. Currently, only fresh fruits and vegetables are covered under the program.
The GusNIP Produce Prescription Program supports projects that demonstrate and evaluate the impact of fruit and vegetable prescriptions on increasing procurement and consumption of fruits and vegetables, reducing individual and household food insecurity, and reducing healthcare usage and associated costs.

PlainBill explanation
Based on the full Introduced in House · 2025-03-03 text. This explanation has not received human editorial review. This overview describes the proposal’s major provisions; it does not establish what its real-world effects would be.
The bill concerns people using nutrition incentives to purchase produce under the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program. It would broaden the food categories named in parts of the program’s governing law by adding legumes and including fresh frozen options in one provision. It would also add language about increasing an existing incentive’s year-round availability by offering fresh frozen fruits or vegetables. The supplied text does not establish the full eligibility rules or how these changes would operate.
This Act may be cited as the Supporting all Healthy Options when Purchasing Produce Act of 2025 or the SHOPP Act of 2025.
2. Nutrition incentives under Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program
(ix) increase the year-round availability of the incentive described in subparagraph (A)(ii)(II) by offering fresh frozen fruits or vegetables;
(A) in paragraph (1)(A), by striking fruits and vegetables and inserting fruits, vegetables, and legumes;
(B) in paragraph (3), by striking fresh fruits and vegetables each place it appears and inserting fresh or fresh frozen fruits, vegetables, and legumes.
The bill would insert a new clause (ix) into section 4405(b)(2)(B) of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 concerning year-round incentive availability through fresh frozen fruits or vegetables. It would renumber the existing clauses (ix) and (x) as (x) and (xi). The new clause refers to an existing incentive whose governing language is not reproduced.
Section 4405 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 7517) is amended— (1) in subsection (b)(2)(B)—
(A) by redesignating clauses (ix) and (x) as clauses (x) and (xi), respectively;
(B) by inserting after clause (viii) the following: (ix) increase the year-round availability of the incentive described in subparagraph (A)(ii)(II) by offering fresh frozen fruits or vegetables;
In section 4405(c)(1)(A), the bill would add legumes to the existing reference to fruits and vegetables.
(2) in subsection (c)— (A) in paragraph (1)(A), by striking fruits and vegetables and inserting fruits, vegetables, and legumes;
In section 4405(c)(3), the bill would replace every reference to “fresh fruits and vegetables” with “fresh or fresh frozen fruits, vegetables, and legumes.” This change applies to that paragraph, rather than every reference throughout the underlying law.
(2) in subsection (c)—
(B) in paragraph (3), by striking fresh fruits and vegetables each place it appears and inserting fresh or fresh frozen fruits, vegetables, and legumes.
