Key points
- California bans sales of diet and muscle-building supplements to minors starting Jan. 1, 2027
- Retailers must check ID when a shopper isn't plainly an adult
- Law is AB 2030
Beginning Jan. 1, 2027, California will bar retailers from selling weight-loss and muscle-building supplements to anyone under 18, and stores will have to check ID for any shopper who isn't plainly an adult, Breitbart reports [1].
One America News reports the law, AB 2030, requires a prescription for minors who want to buy the products [3].
Critics were quick to note the contrast. The National Pulse pointed out that California will now require ID to buy gym supplements while it does not generally require voters to show identification [2].
Parents who want more say over what their teens consume may welcome the rule. Shoppers who simply look young should bring a driver's license.
