I know I can't get non-food items, but what about food restrictions?

The Tennessee Food Stamp Manual, volume one, defines eligible foods in the following way:
Eligible Foods -- Food Stamp Program
(a) Any food or food product intended for human consumption except alcoholic beverages, tobacco, and hot
foods and hot food products prepared for immediate consumption;
(b) Seeds and plants to grow for the personal consumption of eligible food stamp households;
(c) Meals prepared and delivered by an authorized meal delivery service to households eligible to use
coupons to purchase meals or to households eligible to use coupons for communal dining at communal
dining facilities for the elderly, for SSI households or both;
(d) Meals prepared and served by an authorized drug addict or alcoholic treatment and rehabilitation center to
households eligible to use coupons to purchase those meals;
(e) Meals prepared and served by an authorized group living arrangement facility to residents who are blind
or disabled recipients of benefits under Title II (RSDI) or Title XVI (SSI) of the Social Security Act;
(f) Meals prepared by and served by a shelter for battered women and children to its eligible residents.
Item (a) is going to be the most immediately relevant for most people. Basically, you can buy any products intended for human consumption with the exception of alcohol, tobacco, and restaurant food.

Food stamps are designed to keep people from starving . anything that is not eaten cannot be bought with food stamps. Only generic labels and not name brand labels are approved. Most prepared foods Like McDonald's. Burger King, Sonic. etc. are not eligible. Tobacco and alcohol are also exempt
