New Jersey S1938 mandates restaurants to offer healthy beverages with children's meals.

New Jersey S1938 requires restaurants to provide healthy beverages with meals designated for children. The default beverage options include water, sparkling water, flavored water, nonfat or one percent milk, non-dairy milk alternatives, or 100% fruit juice with water or carbonated water, all with no added sweeteners. The bill aims to improve children's nutrition and combat obesity by reducing sugary drink consumption. Restaurants can still offer other beverages, but the default must be healthier. The Commissioner of Health will enforce the provisions through regulations.
