美聯社報導，美國食品和藥物管理局（FDA）７日公布卡路里標示規定綱要，供公眾評論60天後定案。儘管食品供應商多年來持反對態度，店家也表示這會讓他們上架的食品更有限，FDA僅小幅讓步。
知名連鎖比薩店達美樂曾向FDA反應，只想在網站公布卡路里資訊，因為大部分比薩消費者都是叫外送，而非親自到店面訂購。但FDA拒絕達美樂要求，並表示店家有責任在傳統菜單之外提供營養資訊，例如平板電腦、廣告傳單、自助點餐機等。
報導提到，許多消費者權益遊說團體聽到消息終於鬆口氣。該法案自2010年歐巴馬任內提出後延宕多時，原訂2015年實施，卻兩度延後，川普當選後再度延後以進一步評估。
小編評：美國包裝食品新版營養標示雖然延後了，可是餐飲業營養標示還是照計畫進行中喔。

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled “Menu Labeling: Supplemental Guidance for Industry.” The draft guidance, when finalized, will address concerns raised by stakeholders regarding the implementation of nutrition labeling required for foods sold in covered establishments. It includes expanded and new interpretations of policy, and identifies places where FDA intends to be more flexible in its approach. This draft guidance also includes many graphical depictions in order to convey our thinking on various topics and to provide examples of options for implementation. It addresses calorie disclosure signage for self-service foods, including buffets and grab-and-go foods; reasonable basis, and the criteria for considering the natural variation of foods; various methods for providing calorie disclosure information, including those for pizza; compliance and enforcement; and criteria for distinguishing between menus and other information presented to the consumer.
