It directs the Administrator of the Food and Nutrition Service to establish specific standards for online and mobile platforms used to redeem benefits. These standards include digital privacy and cybersecurity for users. The bill also establishes delivery standards for food purchased with these benefits. These delivery standards aim to ensure safe working conditions and food safety. Finally, it outlines the consequences for retailers that fail to comply with these new standards.
