What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

California is implementing a state-backed voluntary certification and seal for foods that are not ultraprocessed, through AB 2244, authored by Jesse Gabriel. The California Department of Public Health will accredit certifiers for this seal by June 1, 2029. The Environmental Working Group co-sponsored the bill, stating it will help consumers make choices about healthy food.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The legislation requires large grocery chains making over $10 million in annual sales that stock at least 25 certified non-ultraprocessed products to prominently display or group those items. Food industry experts, such as those at the Institute of Food Technologists, noted that states taking action before a unified definition is established could cause complications.

California has previously established a voluntary certification seal through a bill concerning food industry standards, and is also co-sponsoring legislation on food waste.
