AB 1264: Pupil nutrition: restricted school foods and ultraprocessed foods of concern: prohibition.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified November 24, 2025

What AB 1264 does, verified November 24, 2025

The bill aims to improve school nutrition by restricting the sale of unhealthy foods and drinks. It defines "ultraprocessed food" and "ultraprocessed food of concern" and requires schools to phase out these foods by 2029. By 2032, schools will no longer be able to offer these restricted foods to students. The bill also requires food vendors to report information about the foods they sell to schools, which will help track the sale of unhealthy foods. A report will be submitted to the legislature and governor each year, providing recommendations for reducing the consumption of unhealthy foods in schools. The bill also prohibits schools from selling food and drinks containing restricted foods or ultraprocessed foods of concern, except for fundraising events.
