^aSNAP=Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

^bResults are corrected for National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) complex survey design but are proportions and are unadjusted

^cPer capita mean consumption is calculated using the full sample of 1,191 SNAP participants and 1,332 non-participants as the denominator for the average.

^dProportion of participants who were consumers. For food source data, food source consumers are defined as those individuals who consumed at least one food item from the food source. For nutrient and food data, consumers are defined as having a nonzero consumption for a given nutrient or food group.

^ePer consumer mean consumption is calculated using only consumers as the denominator for the average, which is equal to the sample population n in the corresponding row.

^*Significant difference between SNAP participants and nonparticipants, p<0.05

^**p<0.01
