Allenhurst, NJ (PRWEB) January 06, 2015 -- If a New Year’s Resolution of yours is to eat out less, you might want to save that for next year. Approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, restaurants, supermarkets, and entertainment venues must include nutritional information on their menus within the year. The new rule was persuaded by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie in an effort to create consumer awareness throughout the country.
Along with listing calorie counts on the menu, consumers can ask for written nutritional information on total calories, calories from fat, total calories, saturated fats, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrates, sugars, fiber and protein. Establishments that the rule applies to are: fast food restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, restaurant-type foods sold in grocery stores and convenience stores, take-out and delivery foods, foods purchased at drive-through windows, self-serve foods, school vending machines, alcoholic drinks, and foods at places of entertainment including movie theaters and concert venues.
The bill to require menu labeling was first signed by then Governor Corzine in 2010. Action was since put on hold until the Food & Drug Administration signed off on the law in November 2014.
