  California is moving forward to pass the first state law to define potentially harmful ultraprocessed foods and prohibit them from being added to school lunches.

California is taking steps to eliminate ultraprocessed foods from its public schools by passing a bill that bans the sale of foods containing artificial dyes, titanium dioxide, potassium bromate, brominated vegetable oil, and other harmful chemicals in school cafeterias. This move, supported by Governor Gavin Newsom, aims to protect children's health by removing substances linked to various health issues, including cancer and behavioral problems. The legislation, set to be implemented in phases starting in 2027, reflects a growing awareness of the dangers posed by these additives and a commitment to fostering healthier eating habits among students.
