據(jù)了解，該規(guī)定原定于今年5月5日起實(shí)施。本次延長實(shí)施日期有助降低成本，促進(jìn)相關(guān)要求的靈活性。

 

    與此同時(shí)，自5月4日起美國FDA開始就餐飲菜單標(biāo)簽要求的實(shí)施征求意見，評(píng)議期為60天。相關(guān)意見涉及降低管理負(fù)擔(dān)以及以下方面的執(zhí)行靈活性，這包括自助餐的熱量數(shù)值、除菜單外熱量信息的披露方法、區(qū)分面向消費(fèi)者菜單與其他信息的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)等。

 

    部分原文報(bào)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.
