Bill > HB695

This bill requires restaurants with three or more locations in Virginia that are licensed and must comply with federal regulations 21 C.F.R. Part 11 and Part 101 to display a sodium warning label on their menus. This label must be placed conspicuously at the bottom of the menu and state: "Sodium content higher than daily recommended limit (2,300 mg). High sodium intake can increase blood pressure and risk of heart disease and stroke." A "high sodium menu item" is defined as any food item containing 2,300 milligrams (mg) or more of sodium, with specific rules for customizable electronic menus and items intended for sharing. Restaurants that fail to comply with these requirements will face a civil penalty of up to $500 per violation.
