Government Shutdown Impacts CPG Brands
The ongoing government shutdown poses a threat to CPG brands that rely on SNAP and WIC benefits, with over 40 million Americans depending on these programs.
Farmers, food manufacturers, and grocers are preparing for significant sales disruptions as the federal shutdown restricts funding for food assistance programs.
- SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)
- WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children)
If the shutdown continues into November, state agencies will be unable to disburse funds for these programs, affecting millions of Americans.
