California's new law to phase out ultraprocessed school foods: Here's why it matters for children's health

California has passed a pioneering law to phase out ultraprocessed foods from school meals by 2035. The legislation targets foods high in sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats, aiming to improve children's health. Schools must begin removing these items by 2029, with vendors banned by 2032. Some districts already offer scratch-made meals sourced locally. The law raises concerns about costs, but paediatricians support it to combat rising chronic conditions linked to poor nutrition.
