Besides dairy products, what are common staple food categories covered under healthy food items?
Answer
Fresh produce, certain meats, and whole grains
The core function of the Healthy Benefits Plus program is to cover items considered staples that contribute to a nutritious diet. While dairy is often included, the foundational elements generally covered are fresh produce, which encompasses fruits and vegetables, certain types of meats, and whole grains. These categories represent essential building blocks for home-prepared meals, aligning with the program's goal of supporting member well-being through nutrition, as opposed to processed, prepared, or non-food household goods.
