Food Service Ware - Condiment Packets & Cups

Condiment packets, also called sachets, contain powders, liquids or gels of single-serving size in composite packaging (layers of plastics, metals, and/or paper) for long-term shelf stability, while condiment cups are filled in-house by eating establishments from bulk or fresh ingredients usually of small cups and lids to accompany a meal.

Refuse these items when you do not need them. Take them with you on road trips and camping, or use them up. Consider sharing large quantities for reuse by the community. Compost solids, or pour liquids down the drain before disposing of packaging.

Say no thank you to unwanted sauces, utensils, & straws. Did you know California has a new law that requires all retail food facilities and food delivery platforms to provide single-use foodware accessories (ex. forks, knives, spoons, chopsticks, condiments, straws & stirrers) upon request only?
