AZ SB1019

Chain restaurants and food establishments with at least 10 locations nationally and 5 in Arizona must list calories, saturated fat, trans fat, carbohydrates, and sodium content adjacent to each menu item on printed menus.

Establishments using only menu boards or signs may display calories on the board but must provide complete nutritional information (fat, carbohydrates, sodium) to customers upon request.

Franchisors and corporate owners must analyze menu items for nutritional content using department-approved methods and ensure listed values are within 20 percent of actual values in representative items as prepared and sold.

Department inspectors verify only that nutritional information is displayed and available upon request; they are not required to verify accuracy unless the director requests documentation from franchisors or corporate owners.

Individual restaurants failing to display required information or provide it on request face civil penalties prescribed by the department; franchisors or corporate owners failing to provide accurate documentation or supply information to their restaurants also face civil penalties.
