Bill > A06614

This bill amends the New York public health law to set nutrition standards for meals, food items, and beverages that restaurants can offer in combination with incentive items aimed at children. The bill defines key terms like "incentive item" (toys, games, etc. with particular appeal to children) and "restaurant" (any establishment that sells food or beverages to the public). The commissioner is tasked with establishing the specific nutritional standards, which must include factors like calories, sodium, fat, and fruit/vegetable content. Restaurants that violate the provisions face civil penalties ranging from $500 to $2,500 per violation.
