FDA has finalized two rules requiring calorie information be listed on menus and menu boards in restaurants, retail food establishments and vending machines to give consumers more information on the foods they purchase.
“Americans eat and drink about one-third of their calories away from home and people today expect clear information about the products they consume,” said FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg. “Making calorie information available on chain restaurant menus and vending machines is an important step for public health that will help consumers make informed choices for themselves and their families.”
