NYC approves calorie-count requirement

The Associated Press: The New York City Board of Health voted Jan. 22 to revive a plan to force chains to post calorie counts on menu boards effective March 31. The original ruling was struck down in September 2007.

 

The new regulation applies to any chain that operates at least 15 separate outlets, including those that don't currently provide any information on calories. Major fast-food chains make up about 10 percent of the city's restaurants.
