Are Your Locations Compliant with US Menu Labeling Regulations? How do You Know if You Need to Be?

On December 1, 2014, the FDA published a ruling that requires the disclosure of calorie information on menus and menu boards for restaurants and similar locations. Several compliance date extensions over the years resulted in a final compliance date of 2019. While the 2019 compliance date was relaxed for some time, it is now in full enforcement.
