National menu labeling may be gaining steam
November 16, 2008
Reuters: As more communities adopt menu labeling legislation, a nationwide system requiring quick-serve chains to list calories on their menus could be gaining support in Congress.
In late September, California became the first state to require fast-food restaurant chains to list calories on their menus. Labeling requirements went into effect in New York City earlier this year, and more than a dozen states are considering similar health code provisions.
Several bills have been introduced to Congress but have stalled. Support is expected to increase as state activity grows.
