24 May 2017 --- This week, New York City became the first city in the US to introduce new legislation which requires chain food retailers and restaurants to post calorie counts and full nutritional information on prepared foods or restaurant-type foods. Chain restaurants and retailers will be required to provide complete nutritional information, rather than just a simple calorie count, for standard menu items being offered. In addition, they will need to post a statement about the daily recommended caloric intake of 2,000 calories.
