Governor Gavin Newsom has issued an executive order to crack down on these unhealthy food products, aiming to promote healthier dietary options across the state. This new initiative mirrors priorities set by other health advocates, including RFK Jr., and emphasizes the importance of reducing the availability of junk food in California. The order also includes provisions for more state oversight and investigations into the effects of food dyes, signifying a proactive approach to public health and nutrition.
