New York City has rules for restaurants to post calorie information. If a restaurant has 15 or more locations with the same name or owner, they must show calorie information on their menus and menu boards. This rule applies if the food is made the same way and in the same size.

Restaurants with fewer than 15 locations do not have to show calories.

A menu item is any food or drink, or combination, listed on a menu or menu board. It can also be shown on any list or picture display with prices. The calorie information must be clear and easy to see. It should be as noticeable as the name or price of the item.

This page explains how to follow the rules for showing calorie information on menus and menu boards in New York City. The NYC Health Department updated these rules in May 2017. The latest guidance is listed below.
