The effect of the new rules, under which new York restaurants are required to show in the menu the number of calories included in a particular dish, is temporarily suspended until may 2018. This measure stems from the fact that management under the control over products and medicines intended to develop a unified national standards for food labeling. However, this decision was not taken immediately.
A lawsuit with a request to suspend the local law was filed in court by the representative of the National Association of Convenience Stores. The petition stated that the application of measures at the local level is contrary to national legislation. Standards should be uniform for all.
We have previously reported that in addition to information on ingredients and calories in meals at new York restaurants was also undertaken to inform the visitors about the FDA-recommended 2,000 calories per day.
