A new California bill continues the state’s efforts to crack down on ultra-processed foods, proposing a front-of-package seal that manufacturers could place on their products to show that they are not ultra-processed.
The hope is that the seal, which manufacturers would voluntarily apply for, would help people make healthier choices at the grocery store and incentivize companies to reformulate to meet eligibility requirements, said Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel on a press call on Wednesday.
