MO HB2193

Chain restaurants (20+ locations in U.S. under same trade name with identical menus) must disclose calorie count for each menu item at point of sale.

Calorie information must be displayed on menus, menu boards, buffets, and salad bars in prominent, legible typeface equal to price or item name.

Chain restaurants must make available in writing upon request detailed nutritional information including fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugar, sodium, dietary fiber, and protein for each menu item.

Department of Health and Senior Services may impose penalties of $50-$500 for violations; individuals violating requirements face fines of $100-$1,000 plus $50 per day for noncompliance with department orders.

Effective January 1, 2011; restaurants providing nutritional information in good faith are immune from civil liability for inaccuracies; local ordinances cannot impose stricter requirements on chain restaurants or require information from non-chain restaurants.
