New Menu Labeling Requirements Effective May 7
May 8, 2018 by Admin |
The menu labeling requirements will be enforced by the FDA beginning May 7, 2018. PMAA General Counsel Al Alfano released a detailed explanation of which establishments are required to comply with the menu labeling rule which will go into effect on May 7, 2018.
While retailers must comply with the new requirements, Congress must also act to fix the menu labeling regulation. The “Common Sense Nutrition Disclosure Act” (S. 261) by Senators Blunt (R-MO) and King (I-ME) would give retailers the flexibility they need to comply with the menu labeling regulations. In February, the House passed its version, H.R. 772. However, the Senate has yet to vote on its version, S. 261.
