A food facility that offers standard condiments is encouraged to use bulk dispensers for the condiments rather than condiments packaged for single use.\n(h) Nothing in this section shall prevent a city, county, city and county, or other local public agency from adopting and implementing an ordinance or rule that would further restrict a food facility or a third-party food delivery platform from providing single-use foodware accessories or standard condiments to a consumer.\n(i) A food facility is encouraged, but not required, to take actions in addition to the requirements of this section that support a goal of reducing the use of and waste generated by all single-use food service products.","path":["Public Resources Code - PRC","DIVISION 30.
