- California Senate environmental committee approves landmark bill to protect schoolkids from harmful UPFby rcoleman on 16 juillet 2025 at 2025-07-16T16:51:47+02:000000004731202507
California Senate environmental committee approves landmark bill to protect schoolkids from harmful UPF rcoleman July 16, 2025 SACRAMENTO – In a win for children’s health, today the California Senate Environmental Quality Committee passed a bipartisan bill that would, if enacted, phase out certain ultra-processed food, or UPF, from meals served in public schools. UPF are industrially manufactured and chemically modified products. They’re often made with potentially harmful additives to enhance taste, texture, appearance and durability.Assembly Bill 1264, introduced by Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel (D-Encino), would create a first-in-the-nation legal definition of UPF. The bill would also task Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment scientists to work with University of California researchers to research UPF links to disease and other health risks. These experts would then identify those that are “particularly harmful” and should be phased out of public school food.. Schools would be required to comply with the law starting in 2032.“Our public schools should not be serving students ultra-processed food products filled with chemical additives that can harm their physical and mental health and interfere with their ability to learn,” said Gabriel. Some artificial food chemicals that are commonly found in UPF have been shown to affect the brain’s influence on behavior and learning. The bill has bipartisan support, including from Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher (East Nicolaus) and Progressive Caucus Chair Alex Lee (D-San Jose).“In California, Democrats and Republicans are joining forces to prioritize the health and safety of our children, and we are proud to be leading the nation with a bipartisan, science-based approach,” said Gabriel. “This new legislation will ensure that schools are serving our students the healthy, nutritious meals they need and deserve,” he added.The Environmental Working Group is cosponsoring AB 1264. The bill now heads to the Senate Appropriations Committee.Health threats of UPFExperts say UPF food and drinks encourage people to eat more of them than they really want. The products are engineered to evoke a desire to consume more, they say.Scientific research also links UPF to serious health harms, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, metabolic disorders such as Crohn’s disease and fatty liver disease, reproductive and neurobehavioral harms, and mental health issues.Obesity is chief among the health problems linked to UPF. Rates of obesity in the U.S. and globally have skyrocketed in tandem with rising UPF consumption.“Ultra-processed foods aren’t just unhealthy – they’re engineered for overconsumption. Like addictive substances, they hijack the brain’s reward system, making it difficult for people to cut back, even when facing serious health consequences,” said Ashley Gearhardt, Ph.D., and professor of psychology at the University of Michigan.“America’s diet is now dominated by ultra-processed foods, many of which were shaped by the same corporate strategies that once hooked people on cigarettes. The result? Rising rates of obesity, diabetes and diet-related diseases, especially in children,” added Gearhardt.Food companies have consistently opposed efforts to regulate UPF. They market and sell these products to consumers, in California and nationwide, without disclosing their potential harms.Landmark UPF legislation“Processed foods can have a place in a healthy diet, but Americans – especially children – are consuming too many ultra-processed foods, which is contributing to increased rates of cancer, heart disease and diabetes,” said Bernadette Del Chiaro, EWG’s senior vice president for California.“AB 1264 would take an important step toward protecting student health by identifying and removing the most harmful ultra-processed foods from California schools,” added Del Chiaro. “We commend Assemblymember Gabriel and all of the bill’s co-authors for taking commonsense steps toward better protecting the well-being of California’s children.”In developing a definition of “particularly harmful” UPF, the experts would consider whether:The product includes additives that are banned, restricted or subject to warnings in other jurisdictions.Based on scientific research, the product or its ingredients are linked to cancer, cardiovascular or metabolic disease, developmental or reproductive harms, obesity, Type 2 diabetes or other health harms.The product or its ingredients contribute to food addiction.The product is high in fat, sugar or salt. California schools are projected to provide over 1 billion meals this school year. AB 1264 would help protect students from the harmful chemicals in “hyperpalatable” food and ensure that all children – from a diversity of economic backgrounds – have access to healthy and nutritious food.“Healthy school meals are the fastest, most powerful way to create a healthier future for our children and our nation,” said Nora LaTorre, CEO of Eat Real, bill cosponsor along with EWG.California leads the wayCalifornia is changing the national conversation about food safety and school nutrition. With strong bipartisan support, over the past two years the state has enacted two Gabriel-authored landmark food laws.The California School Food Safety Act, signed into law in 2024, bans six harmful food dyes from being served in public schools. It followed a 2023 state law banning the manufacture, distribution or sale of food containing the chemicals Red Dye No. 3, propyl paraben, brominated vegetable oil and potassium bromate.California has long been a bellwether state for public health protections. Now similar actions are sweeping the country, with food chemical bills introduced, debated and in some cases enacted in states from Arizona to Vermont, including Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania.Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order in January directing California agencies to look for new ways to minimize the harms of UPF consumption. The order also instructs the agencies to reduce the purchase of soda, candy and other types of UPF, including those that contain artificial dye.“Poor nutrition in childhood, predominantly due to processed foods, which are high in added sugars and low in nutrient quality, is a major and modifiable factor contributing to life-long risk for chronic diseases, including obesity, Type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease and heart disease and also affects learning and classroom performance,” said Michael Goran, Ph.D., and program director for nutrition and obesity at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Goran is also professor and vice chair for research in the department of pediatrics at Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California.Prenatal vitamin and PFAS legislationEWG is sponsoring two other bills in the California Legislature this session: Senate Bill 682 and 646. Both bills passed the California Assembly Committee on Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials this week. SB 682, authored by Sen. Ben Allen (D-Santa Monica), would ban manufacturers from intentionally adding PFAS to various consumer products, including cookware, food packaging and cleaners.SB 646, authored by Sen. Dr. Akilah Weber Pierson (D-San Diego), would require prenatal multivitamin manufacturers to test for and publicly disclose levels of potentially harmful heavy metals in their products. Activist and social entrepreneur Hilary Swank testified in support of the bill in front of the California Senate Health Committee on April 2. “As a mom and entrepreneur, I am deeply committed to protecting my family and your families,” said Swank. “We know prenatal vitamins are essential for maternal and fetal health, but recent studies show that far too many contain heavy metals that can harm developing babies.”If signed into law, SB 646 would make California the first state to mandate transparency for prenatal supplements, setting a national precedent for stronger maternal health protections.“Expecting mothers deserve transparency about the ingredients in the supplements they take to support their health and their baby’s growth,” said Susan Little, EWG’s legislative director for California. “It’s alarming to find heavy metals in prenatal vitamins. This bill is a critical step toward giving consumers the facts and pushing companies to make safer products.”###The Environmental Working Group (EWG) is a nonprofit, non-partisan organization that empowers people to live healthier lives in a healthier environment.

- EWG testimony before the California Senate Environmental Quality Committee on AB 1264, to ban particularly harmful ultra-processed foodsby rcoleman on 16 juillet 2025 at 2025-07-16T14:33:34+02:000000003431202507
EWG testimony before the California Senate Environmental Quality Committee on AB 1264, to ban particularly harmful ultra-processed foods rcoleman July 16, 2025 Thank you for the opportunity to testify. My name is Scott Faber, and I am the Senior Vice President for Government Affairs for the Environmental Working Group. I also teach Food Law at Georgetown University Law Center. Prior to joining EWG, I was the Vice President for Federal Affairs for the Consumer Brands Association. Processed foods are part of a healthy diet, and AB 1264 does not prohibit schools from offering processed foods. However, ultraprocessed foods are different from processed foods because they combine industrial ingredients and additives in ways that make foods hyperpalatable. These industrially engineered foods are not simply delicious; they are literally irresistible because they: change the signals that are sent to our brain’s reward center. increase the speed with which that reward is delivered, and interfere with signals that tell us to stop eating. More than half of the calories we consume are UPF – including 67% of the calories eaten by our children. Fortunately, many of our schools have already moved to eliminate UPF, replacing them with healthier processed foods, minimally processed foods, and whole foods from local farms. These schools have shown us we don’t need to make expensive changes to school kitchens to phase out the most harmful UPF. Because AB 1264 places the burden on vendors to stop selling harmful UPF to our kids, it will be food companies – not our school food professionals – who will be required to distinguish among minimally processed foods, processed foods, ultra-processed foods, and the most harmful UPF. Again, under AB 1264, only harmful UPF will need to be reformulated. As someone who worked for food companies, I’m confident that my food industry colleagues can meet this challenge. Thank you for the opportunity to testify. I respectfully request an “aye” vote on AB 1264.

- In a big win for clean energy, Sen. Becker and others scrap anti-rooftop solar text from AB 942by rcoleman on 15 juillet 2025 at 2025-07-15T23:06:35+02:000000003531202507
In a big win for clean energy, Sen. Becker and others scrap anti-rooftop solar text from AB 942 rcoleman July 15, 2025 SACRAMENTO – The Environmental Working Group applauds California state Sen. Josh Becker (D-Menlo Park) and other senators for today removing anti-rooftop solar language from Assembly Bill 942. The move safeguards the state’s flagship clean energy program from yet another utility-backed attack.“We’re grateful to Sen. Becker and other state senators for listening to the growing public outcry and standing up for rooftop solar,” said Bernadette Del Chiaro, EWG’s senior vice president for California. “The language that was removed was a brazen attempt by monopoly utilities to further sabotage local clean energy in favor of centralized control and higher profits.”AB 942 is pending in the Senate Energy, Utilities and Communications Committee, which Becker chairs. A group of the bill’s critics wrote to Becker urging him to halt it over the troubling provisions. In addition, over 150 community, justice, clean energy and environmental organizations previously sent a letter to the energy committee, also calling on it to stop AB 942.“Today’s action goes a long way toward restoring California’s standing as a national leader on clean energy policy,” Del Chiaro added.As introduced by Assemblymember Lisa Calderon (D-Whittier), AB 942 threatened to undermine the once-thriving rooftop solar program. The controversial provisions removed today would have retroactively broken long-standing solar contracts with an estimated 2 million homeowners and businesses. Such changes would have seriously jeopardized the state’s clean energy goals at a moment when federal support for clean energy is under attack. If enacted as introduced, AB 942 would have also punished homeowners and renters with solar at their properties. It would have stripped them of the annual bill credit all residential ratepayers receive from the state’s cap-and-trade auction. The move to remove the anti-solar provisions from the bill follows outcry from a broad coalition of environmental and consumer advocates, individual voters, and the solar industry. They warned that the language would further harm California’s solar progress, raise costs for working families, and put more power into the hands of profit-driven utilities.“This is a big win for consumers and the environment, and we thank Sen. Becker and his colleagues for standing up for the public interest in the face of some of the most powerful special interests in Sacramento,” said Del Chiaro. “At a time when Washington is moving backwards on energy, California must remain a beacon of hope and lead the way to a brighter future powered by clean, renewable energy,” she said.Note: To arrange an interview with Bernadette Del Chiaro about today’s Senate action on AB 942, please email Alex Formuzis at alex@ewg.org or text (202) 617-1740.###The Environmental Working Group is a nonprofit, non-partisan organization that empowers people to live healthier lives in a healthier environment.
