Legislators Question Calorie Disclosure Rules

June 5, 2015

Both Republican and Democrat legislators are questioning menu-labeling rules as they relate to calorie disclosure, reports The Hill. The current Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rule was cited as “cookie cutter” and at least one representative believes restaurants should be regulated differently than other retailers such as convenience stores and grocery stores.  

The FDA made a final rule about how calories need to be displayed for vending operators owning more than 20 machines in late 2014. Any change in the law would likely affect the vending industry in addition to other food retailers.
