Since 2018, #calorie labeling of prepared foods has been required in food retail establishments (became law with 2010 ACA). Our team has been evaluating the effect of this law in restaurants & supermarkets, funded by @niddk. What have we found so far? A thread, 1/14
Most complied: 71 of 90 (79%) of the largest restaurant chains & 9 of 10 of the largest supermarket chains by the end of 2017 & 186 of 197 (94%) of the largest restaurant chains by the end of 2018. Work led by @parksasaurus. 2/14 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29927646/ & pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32313679/
With transaction data from 104 stores within a large national fast-food chain, we found a 23 kcal reduction in mean calories of meals purchased after labeling (an approximate 4% reduction), with some attenuation over time. 3/14 bmj.com/content/367/bm…
