Since 2018, #calorie labeling of prepared foods has been required in food retail establishments (became law with 2010 ACA). Our team has been evaluating the effect of this law in restaurants & supermarkets, funded by @NIDDK. What have we found so far? A thread, 1/14
Our new pub ’Federal calorie labelling compliance at US chain restaurants.’ We assessed 197 chains to determine if they complied with the federal law after fully implemented in May 2018. Nearly all did - only 11 were out of compliance. @US_FDA https://t.co/HN6E11zsL1
