Labeling provisions in the ACA (Affordable Care Act) require that restaurants and other retail food establishments provide access to nutrition information. This includes the display of calorie information for standard menu items and access to additional nutrient information for those same items. ESHA Research can help you get compliant before the new U.S. FDA menu labeling laws go into effect.
