New Health Care Bill Includes Calorie Counts

Calorie Count Information

Restaurants will need to include calorie information on menus, drive up menus and billboards. This new rule was included in the latest Health Care Bill that passed this week. Restaurants affected are those with 20 or more locations.  Our Food Lab Supervisor, Erin Smith alerted me to an article in today’s Omaha World-Herald.

Some Restaurants are testing on their own

Some restaurants are getting a head start and conducting their own testing with respect to this new legislation. One client sent 20 menu items to Midwest Laboratories for testing.  Our testing information for restaurants can be found on our eStore.

Guidance

In light of these regulations, it would be to your best benefit to speak to Erin or Sue Ann at Midwest Laboratories. 800-777-0486

  1. Hi great page you have here. I attend a Personal Trainer in Sydney and I am forever looking the web for great sources of information and resources or training programs etc to email on to my health instructor. He has a Personal Trainer sydney site which you can browse and read and check out some of the fitness activities we do and things to see in Oz :) If your ever in Sydney Australia, you should stop and say hello to us we are close to the CBD. Cheers mate!
