据美国食品药品管理局（FDA）消息，5月1日美国FDA发布通告，延长餐饮菜单标签要求的实施日期至2018年5月7日。
据了解，该规定原定于今年5月5日起实施。本次延长实施日期有助降低成本，促进相关要求的灵活性。
与此同时，自5月4日起美国FDA开始就餐饮菜单标签要求的实施征求意见，评议期为60天。相关意见涉及降低管理负担以及以下方面的执行灵活性，这包括自助餐的热量数值、除菜单外热量信息的披露方法、区分面向消费者菜单与其他信息的标准等。
部分原文报道如下：
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is extending the compliance date for menu labeling requirements from May 5， 2017 to May 7， 2018. This extension allows for further consideration of what opportunities there may be to reduce costs and enhance the flexibility of these requirements beyond those reflected in the final rule.
The FDA is inviting comments for 60 days on the implementation of the menu labeling requirements， such as approaches to reduce regulatory burden or increase flexibility related to （a） calorie disclosure signage for self-service foods， including buffets and grab-and-go foods; （b） methods for providing calorie disclosure information other than on the menu itself; and （c） criteria for distinguishing between menus and other information presented to the consumer.
