California Just Became the First State to Ban Sell-By Dates
On September 28th Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation making California the first state to ban sell-by dates. Assembly Bill No. 660 will take effect on July 1, 2026, banning the use of "sell-by" dates and standardizing language for date labels to reduce food waste, fight climate change, and save consumers money.
