MENUS MADE EASY?

How the menu labeling law affects business and ordering at pizzerias

B

ye-bye delays. The menu
labeling law officially went
into effect on May 7, 2018,
and although more changes are on
the horizon with the Common Sense
Nutrition Disclosure Act trudging
through Congress, pizza restaurants
that fall within the law's criteria will
have to abide by the new menu labeling requirements as it stands.
In an official statement on the
enactment, FDA Commissioner Scott
Gottlieb said, "Consumers walking
into eating establishments covered
under the rule will know how many
calories are in the foods they may want
to order. This includes establishments
R C2H0 1280 1 8
4 0 / P I Z Z AT O D AY. C O M / JMUALY

that are chains with 20 or more locations doing business under the same
name that offer substantially the same
menu items consisting of restauranttype foods."
Beyond the weighty costs of hiring
nutritionists plus updating collateral,
how will the law's implementation
affect small businesses like pizzerias?
Will it have an effect on ordering,
and what should pizzaioli do moving
forward?
"PUTTING CALORIE COUNTS ON
MENUS IS A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD,"
SAYS ARLENE SPIEGEL, PRESIDENT OF
ARLENE SPIEGEL AND ASSOCIATES.

"When guests are interested in calorie
counts for dietary reasons the information is useful, but for guests seeing the
calories for the first time, it could be
shocking and affect their decision to
buy."
Even though there may be extra
questions, owners say posting calories
on menus is a long-term plus. "Having
transparency in what you serve and
how it affects guests is always positive,"
says Cory Lattuca, executive chef, and
food and beverage director of Grimaldi's Pizzeria. "There'll be sticker shock,
but if you want pizza, you've never
convinced yourself it's low calorie and
it certainly won't stop your cravings."
