This is the bill text: "SECTION 1. It is the intent of the Legislature to enact future legislation limiting the sale of ultraprocessed foods in California schools."
That's it.
It's fairly well understood what makes junk foods tasty without much nutritional value.
Salt and sugar play a big role. Those aren't "ultraprocessed".
Bread is "ultraprocessed". The number of steps from wheat to bread is large, and the output looks nothing like the input. Here's how "artisanal bread" is really made.[1]
It's the ingredients, not the processing.

- ensignavenger 2y agoThe CA legislature actually passed a law stating it was their intent to pass a law?
- Animats 2y agoNot passed, just introduced. It's a placeholder that can move forward to committee. Then, if it goes anywhere, details will be filled in by amendment. This is the legislative equivalent of a function stubbed out in code.
- ensignavenger 2y agoOh I see, my bad, I thought this was passed legislation. I guess I should have paid more attention to the details.
