The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently proposed new regulations that will require all restaurants with 20 or more locations to include the caloric contents of food items on their menus, and to make available further nutritional information upon request. The regulation currently exempts alcoholic beverages from the listing requirements. The FDA is requesting public comment on the proposed rules, specifically the alcohol exclusion. Marin Institute has submitted its own comments and encourages the submission of comments urging the FDA to include alcohol in the new regulation.
