California Bans Synthetic Food Dyes in Schools to Promote Healthier Eating
Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a new bill that prohibits the use of six synthetic food dyes in California schools, a move aimed at improving nutrition in school cafeterias and addressing concerns related to the processed food industry. The legislation responds to growing health concerns associated with food dyes, such as potential negative effects on children's well-being, and seeks to increase youth access to healthier, local food options. As a result of this legislation, popular snacks like Fruit Loops and Flamin' Hot Cheetos will no longer be available in California schools.
