Food Labeling - Nutrition Labeling of Standard Menu Items in Restaurants and Similar Retail Food Establishments (US Food and Drug Administration Regulation) (FDA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Food Labeling - Nutrition Labeling of Standard Menu Items in Restaurants and Similar Retail Food Establishments (US Food and Drug Administration Regulation) (FDA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 To implement the nutrition labeling provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Affordable Care Act or ACA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is requiring disclosure of certain nutrition information for standard menu items in certain restaurants and retail food establishments. The ACA, in part, amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD& C Act), among other things, to require restaurants and similar retail food establishments that are part of a chain with 20 or more locations doing business under the same name and offering for sale substantially the same menu items to provide calorie and other nutrition information for standard menu items, including food on display and self-service food. Under provisions of the ACA, restaurants and similar retail food establishments not otherwise covered by the law may elect to become subject to these Federal requirements by registering every other year with FDA. Providing accurate, clear, and consistent nutrition information, including the calorie content of foods, in restaurants and similar retail food establishments will make such nutrition information available to consumers in a direct and accessible manner to enable consumers to make informed and healthful dietary choices.
