SACRAMENTO — California is poised to become the first state to require large chain restaurants to notify customers of the nutritional content of menu items, under legislation approved Tuesday by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The law, SB 1420 by Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Van Nuys, forces restaurant chains with at least 20 locations to reveal on brochures the amount of calories, saturated fat, carbohydrates and sodium of menu items beginning July 1 — or, if not in a brochure, that they post calories on the menu.
