New menu-labeling guidance was announced on Tuesday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. According to a <a href="https://www.qsrmagazine.com/news/fda-provides-additional-menu-labeling-guidance?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=qsr-magazine-fda-provides-additional-menu-labeling-guidance-2704782" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">recent QSR Magazine article</a>, chain restaurants with more than 20 locations will need to publish calorie information on their menus by May 2018.

&ldquo;I&rsquo;m equally committed to making sure we implement these provisions in a way that is practical, efficient and sustainable. We took to heart questions from stakeholders about how these provisions would work as a practical matter in the real world. By being thoughtful and getting it right now we have before us an opportunity to implement these provisions across the diverse retail food landscape to reach our important underlying goal sooner,&rdquo; said FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb.

While the announcement is a big step, there are still grey areas for operators. Beer, alcoholic beverages and items like customizable pizzas provide challenges for menu board labeling. The FDA will continue to work with brands and add to the supplemental guidance document for specific issues.
