The purpose of Sections 468 through 468.8 is to provide consumers with information about the nutritional components of Food prepared, purchased, and eaten outside the home. Consumers must have basic nutritional information readily available in order to make informed choices about the Food that they, and their children and dependants, eat. These sections require Chain Restaurants to provide consumers with specific nutritional information on Menu Items, such as calorie content, so that consumers may be better able to make nutritional choices consistent with their health needs. Furthermore, ensuring informed food choices supports societal public health goals of preventing obesity, diabetes, and other avoidable nutrition-related diseases.
