The actual program name is snap but everyone still just calls it food stamps and I'm pretty sure now food stamps are just handed out as cash on prepaid debit cards. I think there some categories that you can't use snap benefits to buy, like anything alcohol or cigarettes, but other than that I think it's pretty much a free for all.
There are other programs like WIC that I think do give out very specific benefits but those are laser focused on certain groups.
I'm far from an expert on this stuff I've never used snap or any of the other food assistance programs in the states.
