Menu-labeling restrictions
NACS is urging Congress to pass the Common Sense Nutrition Disclosure Act as soon as possible. The bill was recently reintroduced to both houses of Congress, and would loosen current menu-labeling restrictions, which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is due to begin enforcing by May 5.
The release criticized the current requirements, saying they “do not take into account the differences in approach to foodservice between big-chain restaurants and convenience stores, grocery stores and delivery operations.” The release also points out that c-store foodservice sales make up nearly 19% of total in-store revenues.
