California’s SB 343: The October 2026 Deadline Food Brands Can’t Ignore

California is tightening the rules around recyclability claims.

Beginning October 4, 2026, products and packaging manufactured after that date must meet strict criteria before displaying the recycling symbol or making unqualified recyclability claims under SB 343, the state’s “Truth in Recycling” law.

This isn’t just a labeling tweak.

Under SB 343, a material must be:
• Collected by recycling programs serving at least 60% of Californians
• Sorted into defined recycling streams serving the same threshold
• Routinely used as feedstock to make new products

In other words, packaging must be recyclable in practice, not just in theory.

Importantly, the law applies based on manufacture date, not sale date. Products made before October 4, 2026 are not subject to the new labeling restrictions, even if sold later. But new production runs after that date must comply.

For food manufacturers, this shifts packaging decisions from marketing-driven to compliance-driven. Beyond enforcement risk, there’s growing scrutiny around greenwashing. Consumers, regulators, and state agencies are paying closer attention to environmental claims.

SB 343 also signals a broader trend. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws are already active in states like Oregon and Colorado, and more are coming. Packaging strategy now intersects directly with liability exposure, fees, and long-term brand trust.

The companies reviewing their packaging portfolios today will be in a much stronger position tomorrow.

In the realm of health and wellness, Bob Moore was a luminary whose legacy transcends mere business success. As the founder of Bob's Red Mill, he didn't just create a company; he ignited a movement towards whole-grain health that reverberates through communities to this day. For over 15 years, we have been privileged to be part of the commitment to quality, integrity, and community enrichment that Bob Moore and the team at Bob’s Red Mill exemplified.

Bob Moore's impact extended far beyond the walls of his milling operation. He was a staunch advocate for nutrition and wellness, tirelessly championing the benefits of whole grains and wholesome living. Through initiatives like the Bob and Charlee Moore Institute for Nutrition & Wellness at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), he provided resources and support for research, education, and community outreach. His vision wasn't limited to profit margins; it encompassed the well-being of individuals and the broader community.

Under Moore's guidance, Bob's Red Mill became synonymous with quality and reliability in the health food industry. His commitment to producing wholesome products without compromising on taste or nutrition set a standard that continues to inspire others in the field. Moreover, his dedication to employee ownership through the company's transition to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in 2010 ensured that his values would endure beyond his lifetime, empowering those within the company to carry forward his mission with passion and purpose.

As we reflect on Bob Moore's life and contributions, we are reminded of the profound impact one individual can have on the world. His legacy is not just measured in profits or market share but in the countless lives, he touched with his commitment to health, wellness, and community. Bob Moore's passing leaves a void, but his spirit lives on in every grain of flour, every product bearing the Bob's Red Mill name, and in the ongoing work of the institutions and individuals he inspired.
