Skip the Stuff Act.

HB 423, the "Skip the Stuff Act," requires restaurants and third-party food delivery platforms in North Carolina to stop automatically providing single-use foodware (like utensils, napkins, and condiment packets) with orders. Instead, customers must actively request these items for take-out, delivery, or dine-in service. The bill exempts delivery-specific safety items (e.g., cup lids) and allows refillable condiment dispensers. It directly affects food establishments and delivery platforms, aiming to reduce unnecessary waste and costs associated with disposable food service items.
