In a significant move to enhance student nutrition, California has become the first state in the nation to pass legislation banning certain ultraprocessed foods from school meals. Governor Newsom signed the bill into law, which aims to improve the quality of food served to students by phasing out unhealthy options such as pepperoni pizza and others that fall under the ultraprocessed category. This law includes a clear definition of ultraprocessed foods, making California a trailblazer in addressing concerns over harmful dietary habits among children. The initiative has garnered support across the political spectrum, highlighting a bipartisan agreement on the need for better nutrition in schools.
