California Assembly Bill 1276 requires food facilities, including those in Riverside County, to provide single-use foodware accessories and condiments only on customer request or at self-serve stations.
Public Resources Code section 42270 et seq. (AB 1276) prohibits food facilities from automatically including single-use plastic utensils, straws, stirrers, condiment cups, and napkins with takeout or delivery orders. Customers must affirmatively request them, and third-party delivery platforms must require an explicit selection. Riverside County Environmental Health checks compliance during routine inspections in unincorporated areas. The law applies to both dine-in and takeout in food facilities, with limited exemptions for institutional settings such as hospitals and schools. Reusable serviceware for dine-in is encouraged but not mandated.
First and second violations: written notice. Third and subsequent: 25 dollars per day, capped at 300 dollars annually.
