Health Reform Bills Would Require Calorie Counts on Vending Machines
Posted by Partnership for Prevention at 9:34 AMWSJ Health Blogger Jacob Goldstein reports that a little-noticed provision in the health reform bill in both the House (p. 1,515) and Senate (p. 1,233) would require vending machines to display calorie counts for the food they dispense.
The requirement, which wouldn’t apply for people who own fewer than 20 vending machines, is part of sections in both bills that would also require chain restaurants to post calorie counts.
