For the past six years, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried to impose a “one size fits all” regulation that will be unworkable and burdensome for our industry. While Congress has continued to delay the date of implementation, this does not solve the problem but rather leaves business in a constant state of uncertainty.
The pizza industry agrees that nutrition disclosure is important and we are not asking for an exemption. However, that is not what this is about: this is about flexibility, and a modern, meaningful, workable solution that benefits business and consumers.
Maintenance and upkeep of a menu board costs each pizza store approximately $5,000 per year for something that few of our customers will see, and even fewer will use to make meaningful decisions.
The American Pizza Community works to ensure full compliance of menu labeling requirements as enacted by the Common Sense Nutrition Disclosure Act which took effect in May 2018.
