In California, an EBT card, specifically a CalFresh EBT card, is used to purchase eligible food items, such as fresh produce, meats, dairy, grains, and seeds/plants for home gardening, at participating grocery stores, farmers' markets, and some restaurants for qualifying individuals. EBT benefits cannot be used to buy non-food items like pet food or cleaning supplies, hot prepared foods at the point of sale, alcohol, tobacco, or vitamins and supplements.
Interesting: State website says it cannot be used for hot prepared foods at the point of sale. However, virtually every fast-food drive thru states "we accept EBT"
