...[+++] requirement to large-chain restaurant menus and menu boards; and three, to add a requirement that multi-ingredient processed foods disclose the amount of key ingredients, especially for ingredients that are the subject of marketing claims, or for ingredients that are known by the scientific community to have protective or causative effects on major disease risks.
En effet, seulement un petit nombre de chaînes de restauration nationales seraient tenues de donner de l'information nutritionnelle, et ces chaînes ont généralement des menus uniformisés, et beaucoup d'entre elles ont déjà réalisé ces analyses. Quant aux entreprises de transformation de la viande, elles pourront se servir de bases de données nutritionnelles communes, approuvées par le gouvernement.
