King County begins

enforcing law on nutrition information

A five-month phase-in of requirements for food nutrition labeling began Aug. 1 in King County. The regulations were adopted by the King County Board of Health earlier this year.

The Washington Restaurant Association has been working with its King County members to understand the new requirements and find options for complying with the guidelines, which apply to approximately 1,700 businesses that meet the criteria.

The regulations affect full- and quick-service restaurants with more than 15 locations that offer similar menu items.

Full-service restaurants will be required to print nutrition information in one of five formats: on the menu, in an appendix to the menu, in a supplemental menu, in a menu insert or at an electronic kiosk at each table.

Quick-service establishments must post the information inside. Drive-through’s will be exempt until Aug. 1, 2009.
