Why calorie counts are being added to menus across the UK from today

Restaurant, cafe, takeaway and pub chains now have to include calorie counts on menus as part of a Government bid to cut obesity.

Information about the amount of calories in non pre-packed food and soft drinks must be displayed for customers. Smaller and independent businesses will not be affected, the new rules only apply to hospitality and food businesses employing more than 250 staff.

Calories will need to be displayed at the point of choice for the customer, such as physical menus, online menus, food delivery platforms and food labels.
