Can you buy Prime Hydration with EBT? No, you can’t. Prime Hydration is not EBT eligible because it is classified as a supplement rather than a food item. This classification is based on the product’s labeling, which includes “Supplement Facts” instead of “Nutrition Facts.”
According to SNAP guidelines, only food items with “Nutrition Facts” are eligible for EBT purchases. So, even though Prime Hydration is popular and may be found in many stores, you won’t be able to buy it using EBT.
Many shoppers might find this rule surprising, especially since the drink is marketed as a hydration solution. However, the key difference lies in the labeling and classification by the government.
If you’re looking for hydration options that qualify for EBT, consider products that have “Nutrition Facts” on their labels. These are recognized as food items and can be purchased with EBT benefits. Always check the label to ensure you are making an eligible purchase.
