Preparing for the FDA's Menu Labeling Regulations and Implementation Best Practices
Duration: 60 Minutes
Restaurant chains will be required to comply with FDA's regulations for Restaurants, Similar Retail Food Establishments and Vending Machines by May of 2018. Don't let your business be behind the regulation compliance date and suffer an enforcement such as those that are occurring in Europe. Recently Foyles restaurant in Glasbury-on-Wye has been fined £7,430 by Powys County Council for falsely describing the food offered on the restaurant's menus, website and social media. With the enforcement date fast approaching of May 2018, many such lawsuits are bound to happen.
