Calorie count laws
Calorie count laws are a type of law that require restaurant chains of fifteen or more to publish detailed food energy and nutritional information on the food served, in a font equal to or larger than the size of the name of the item.[1] The law was first enacted in 2009, in the state of New York.[2] Others have since been enacted in California.[3]
Restaurants that do not comply can be fined up to $2,000.[4]
More than twenty states are also considering passing similar laws.[5]
Studies of consumer behavior have shown that in some cases consumers reduce calorie consumption and in others do not, perhaps related to whether or not the patrons of a given cuisine are health-conscious.[6]
