As of January 1, 2022, Assembly Bill 1276 prohibits food facilities from providing any “single-use foodware accessory” or “standard condiment” to consumers unless requested by the consumer.
Single-use foodware accessories are any single-use item provided alongside ready-to-eat food such as plastic utensils, chopsticks, and straws. Standard condiments are those that are used on a food item after preparation such as ketchup packets, salt and pepper, and sugar packets.
