Food & Hospitality Law Update: Nutrition Information on the Menu

Take advantage of an important opportunity to attend a live webinar on June 17, 2009 covering the growing trend of federal, state and local menu labeling laws. Many state and local governments have begun to require chain restaurants to disclose calorie and other nutrition information on menus and in written point-of-sale materials. Operators of restaurants in California, New York, Massachusetts, Indiana, West Virginia, and Philadelphia may be required to redesign and re-think their menus. The Federal government is getting in the game, too, with the competing LEAN and MEAL bills now pending in Congress for consideration. These bills, if passed, may further complicate how restaurants can run. Restaurant operators will need to understand how to handle the current trend and comply with the new and anticipated future laws in this area.
