House Eases Burden On Supermarket Menu Labeling
- Supermarket News, Monday, February 15, 2016 8 AM
The House of Representatives Friday passed a bill that industry groups say eases the menu labeling burden for supermarkets while keeping the spirit of the original legislation. Key provisions include: Allowing use of a menu or menu board in the prepared foods area or next to a salad bar instead of labeling each individual item; providing exceptions for localized items that may only be sold at one or two locations, and allowing a store to take corrective actions within 90 days prior to federal, state or municipal enforcement.
