California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed an executive order targeting "ultra-processed foods" and food dyes, which could influence the menus at Disneyland.



The order focuses on the reduction of ultra-processed foods due to their health risks and calls for a range of actions.

Key points include:

- Recommendations to limit ultra-processed food harm
- Investigating health impacts of food dyes
- Strategies to reduce soda and candy consumption
- Raising standards for healthy school meals
- Increasing access to nutritious food to combat “food deserts”

Governor Newsom stated, “The food we eat shouldn’t lead to disease or have lifelong consequences. We've worked on ensuring healthy meals in schools and removing harmful ingredients.”



The executive order doesn't plan to ban ultra-processed foods but aims to explore ways to reduce their consumption, possibly requiring warning labels. If implemented, Disneyland menus may also require similar warnings.



Disneyland isn't directly affected yet, but changes could spread nationwide, especially with upcoming federal food system reforms. Stay informed with DFB for ongoing updates!
