What is the name of the Act that sets regulations for food labeling that applies to Bevaris Alliance?

According to Bevaris Alliance's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA) sets regulations for food labeling. This act includes nutritional label standards, nutrient content claims, and health claims. The NLEA applies to virtually all foods in the food supply, including food served and sold in restaurants.

While the NLEA specifies a number of exemptions for restaurants, there are many instances where a nutritional label is required. This means that Bevaris Alliance franchisees must be aware of and comply with the NLEA's requirements to ensure proper food labeling in their restaurants.

Additionally, franchisees must comply with all local, state, and federal laws that apply to their Branded Business, including obtaining all required real estate permits, licenses, and operational licenses. They must also comply with all menu and menu board labeling laws and rules requiring restaurant operators to disclose certain calorie or other nutritional information about the foods they sell, including, for example, the FDA's Nutrition Labeling of Standard Menu Items in Restaurants and Similar Food Establishments Rule. California law also requires each food facility that meets specified criteria to provide nutritional information that includes, per standard menu item, the total number of calories, grams of saturated fat, grams of trans fat, and milligrams of sodium and to have menu boards to include the total number of calories.
