reports the Food and Drug Administration is advancing Obama-era “requirements to post calorie counts in restaurants, supermarkets, convenience stores and pizza delivery chains nationwide next year.” Despite “years of opposition by some food sellers,” the FDA is offering “only minor compromises to industry complaints” and the agency posted preliminary guidance online Tuesday to help businesses comply with the law. “When you arm consumers with reliable information, they are going to make better decisions, smarter and more informed decisions about their diet,” FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said in an interview with The Associated Press. “Providing this information is more important now than ever because more people are eating their meals away from the home.” https://apnews.com/d8a735ad2fd24d5ea8e5a200ecf68538/Trump-administration-moves-ahead-with-Obama-menu-label-law
