18 Foods That May Disappear Under California Governor Newsom’s Health Reforms
Story by Jake Beardslee • 5h
California is once again making waves in public health policy under Governor Gavin Newsom, who has issued an executive order aimed at curbing access to ultra-processed foods. Newsom’s measures are designed to address growing concerns over the health impacts of synthetic dyes, chemical additives, and sugary, highly processed products linked to cancer, diabetes, and obesity. His move comes as the U.S. lags behind countries like those in the European Union, which have already banned many of these substances.
This initiative builds on California’s leadership in passing the 2023 California Food Safety Act, banning certain additives, and its long history of improving school meal standards. While advocates hail these reforms as necessary to protect public health, critics argue they could complicate business operations and consumer choice. As debates heat up, here’s a closer look at 18 foods that could be affected by Newsom’s policies and why they’re in the spotlight.
