I presume this move is in advance of them accepting SNAP for that stuff. They are apparently interested in exploring that:

I also presume people on SNAP occasionally have to buy stuff thats not SNAP related, like shirts and smoke alarms, and Amazon may want to encourage them to see if they can save money doing that shopping with Prime.
