In a major victory for children's health advocates, California Governor signed into law a comprehensive ban on synthetic food dyes in all public school meals, making it the first state to completely eliminate these controversial additives from school cafeterias.

The California School Food Safety Act prohibits Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3, and Red 3 from any food served in the state's 10,000+ public schools, affecting over 6 million students.

Why This Matters

Research has increasingly linked synthetic food dyes to:

Hyperactivity and attention problems in children
Allergic reactions and sensitivities
Potential carcinogenic properties (particularly Red 3)
Behavioral issues in sensitive individuals

The European Union has required warning labels on foods containing these dyes since 2010, stating they "may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children."

Implementation Timeline

Schools have until September 2026 to fully comply, with the state providing $50 million in funding to help districts reformulate menus and find alternative suppliers.

MAHA Daily Editorial: California is leading the way, but every state should follow. Our children are not test subjects for chemical companies. This victory proves that organized parents can beat Big Food. Now let's make this federal law!
