Celsius, a popular energy drink known for boosting energy and promoting weight loss, cannot be purchased with an EBT card. The reason for this restriction is that Celsius has a “Supplement Facts” label, not a “Nutrition Facts” label. The FDA classifies items with a “Supplement Facts” label as dietary supplements, not food, making them ineligible for EBT purchases.
Despite this, Celsius is widely available in grocery stores, convenience stores, and online. Sales and promotions often make it more affordable. So, while you can’t use EBT to buy Celsius, there are still many ways to enjoy this energy drink.
