Because menus have changed to takeout and delivery-only for restaurants, the law requiring calorie information on menus and menu boards has been relaxed.<\/p>\n<p>According to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/regulatory-information\/search-fda-guidance-documents\/temporary-policy-regarding-nutrition-labeling-standard-menu-items-chain-restaurants-and-similar\"> FDA website<\/a>: \u201cThe policy is intended to remain in effect only for the duration of the public health emergency related to COVID-19 declared by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including any renewals made by the HHS secretary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It takes time to test and calculate menu items. The federal government\u2019s ruling acknowledges how operators have suddenly needed to change recipes in order to remain as an essential business in their communities.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/food\/food-labeling-nutrition\/menu-labeling-requirements\">Menu Labeling Law<\/a>, which became effective on May 7, 2018, applies to restaurants of 20 units or more operating under the same name with similar menu items. This primarily affected&nbsp; many chains and restaurant groups, although many smaller operations also made calorie and nutrition information available as a service to customers\u2019 health concerns.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The move is intended to help restaurants for the duration of the COVID-19
