Does the NLEA set standards for health claims for Bevaris Alliance?

According to Bevaris Alliance's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA) sets regulations for food labeling, which 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 like Bevaris Alliance franchises. While the NLEA specifies a number of exemptions for restaurants, there are instances where a nutritional label is required.

This means that as a Bevaris Alliance franchisee, you must be aware of and comply with the NLEA regulations regarding health claims and nutritional labeling. You will need to ensure that any health claims made about the food you sell meet the standards set by the NLEA. Additionally, you may be required to provide nutritional labels for certain menu items, even though some exemptions exist for restaurants.

It is important to note that the FDD states that this is not an exhaustive list and there may be other local, state, and federal laws, rules, and/or regulations that apply to the operation of a Bevaris Alliance franchise. Therefore, prospective franchisees should carefully review all applicable laws and regulations to ensure compliance. Franchisees must comply with all local, state, and federal laws that apply to the Branded Business, according to the Franchise Agreement.
