Burger King and McDonalds Post Calorie Counts
Friday, July 18, 2008
New York, NY –
Several big fast food chains say they have finally begun obeying a new rule requiring some local restaurants to post calorie counts on the menu.
Burger King and McDonalds were among the chains that began changing their menu boards today after months of resistance. A health department rule requiring the switch has been in effect since May, but legal action delayed enforcement until now.
Starting tomorrow, restaurant chains that fall under the rule will face fines of up to $2,000 per store for not disclosing calorie information in a prominent spot on their menus.
