What's on the Menu?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently released two final rules for menu and vending machine labeling. “Nutrition Labeling of Standard Menu Items in Restaurants and Similar Retail Food Establishments” significantly expands FDA’s regulatory reach into restaurants and beyond. The rule stems from the Affordable Care Act and the compliance date is Dec. 1.

FaegreBD partner and leader of the firm’s food litigation and regulatory practice Sarah Brew, and associate Courtney Lawrence authored an article for Food & Drink explaining the new rules and what will be required to be in compliance.
