Bill > S00486

This bill aims to establish nutrition standards for meals, food items, and beverages that restaurants in New York can offer in combination with incentive items (such as toys, games, or admission tickets) that are targeted at children. The bill empowers the Commissioner to set these nutrition standards, which must include criteria like calories, sodium, fat, sugar, and fruit/vegetable/grain content. Restaurants that violate the provisions of this bill would face civil penalties up to $2,500 for repeated infractions. The bill is set to take effect 120 days after it becomes law.
