California Assembly Bill 1276 requires Moorpark restaurants to provide single-use utensils, condiment packets, straws, and napkins only when customers request them. Auto-bundling these items violates state law.
Assembly Bill 1276, effective 2022, prohibits restaurants in California from automatically providing single-use foodware accessories to customers. Moorpark restaurants must require customers to specifically request utensils, stirrers, cocktail picks, condiment cups, condiment packets, straws, and napkins. Drive-through orders, takeout pickup, and delivery orders all fall under the rule. Third-party delivery apps like DoorDash and Grubhub must include a clear customer toggle for accessories. Bundling accessories by default constitutes a violation. The rule applies regardless of restaurant size. Enforcement starts with a warning for first and second violations, then escalates to $25 daily fines capped at $300 per year.
Auto-providing foodware accessories without customer request triggers two written warnings, then $25 daily fines on the third violation, capped at $300 annually per restaurant location.
