"Ready to eat" is different from prepared hot foods. You can order cold sandwiches at Speedway made to order and put it on your EBT card, and I -think- you can do the same at GetGo and Sheetz. It's just like grabbing a premade hoagie out of the cooler at Giant Eagle.

When I worked at a convenience store 20 years ago, fountain drinks couldn't be put on EBT unless you kept the straw out of it. I don't know if that's an -official- rule or if the store owner just made shit up, but as soon as a straw was inserted in a fountain drink in the store, it was considered "prepared food." 🤷 "Gotta go outside and do it, not my rules."

A lot of delis and bakeries take EBT because it's just the same type of thing as visiting the bakery or deli at a supermarket.
