The Value of Menu Labeling Research
Menu labeling (also known as calorie labeling) has received increased attention in both the public health community and the media. To date, more than 30 U.S. cities and states have introduced legislation requiring chain restaurants to post the caloric content of their regular menu offerings. In order to gather and monitor evidence-based data surrounding menu labeling, Healthy Eating Research has funded several studies that are assessing the effectiveness of menu labeling laws and policies currently in place.
