California becomes the first state to phase ultra-processed food out of school meals

California will become the first state to phase out certain ultraprocessed foods from school meals under a new law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The legislation bans “ultraprocessed foods of concern” from school breakfasts and lunches, with a 10-year timeline for full implementation by 2035.

The state Public Health Department will identify which foods meet the definition, considering additives, high levels of saturated fat, sodium, or added sugar, and scientific evidence of health risks.

Lawmakers emphasized the law’s bipartisan support and its focus on improving children’s physical, mental, and emotional health, NBC News has reported.

The move builds on previous California efforts to limit additives in school meals and aligns with a broader national push to make school food healthier.
