California lawmakers passed a landmark bill, A.B. 2316, known as the California School Food Safety Act, which aims to protect children's health by prohibiting six potentially harmful food dye chemicals from being provided in the state's public schools. The bill was approved by the California Assembly and Senate and awaits Governor Gavin Newsom's signature.
