In this week’s FI News Roundup, key topics include potential losses in federal food aid for SNAP users as the month draws to a close, along with California Governor Gavin Newsom’s proposed bill to ban plastic shopping bags statewide. We also examine Japan’s ongoing rice shortage and its impact on the country’s food supply.
Additionally, a consumer survey highlights a trend of budget-conscious shopping this holiday season. Meanwhile, Yelp’s latest trend report points to rising interest in unique offerings such as Book Bars, vibrant matcha drinks, and Sleepy Girl mocktails.
