The US FDA have updated their guidance on implementation of the new CFR menu nutrition labelling requirements. They have invited comments on the guidance. Closing date for comments to be taken into account in the next revision is 12 February 2024.
The menu labelling rules only apply to standard menu items offered by “covered establishments,” which are defined as restaurants and similar retail food establishments with 20 or more locations doing business under the same name and offering for sale substantially the same menu items, as well as restaurants and similar retail establishments that register to voluntarily subject themselves to the menu labeling requirements. The rules require disclosure of calories on menu and menu boards, and require that other nutrition information (e.g., fat, sugar, protein) be available in written form on the premises and provided to the customer upon request.
