The US is set to increase access to affordable, nutritious meals in California after its governor, Gavin Newsom, issued an executive order for agencies to crack down on ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and food dyes. “The food we eat shouldn’t make us sick with disease or lead to lifelong consequences,” states Newsom. “California has been a leader for years in creating healthy and delicious school meals and removing harmful ingredients and chemicals from food.”
