HEALTHY CHOICES MENU ACT, 2015

The new Healthy Menu Choices Act, 2015 was enacted to require food service premises with 20 or more locations in Ontario to post calories on their menus. This will help Ontarians make healthier food and beverage choices when dining or ordering out and will also help raise public awareness about the calorie content of food and beverages prepared outside the home.

In order to support industry to implement the Act and regulation, the ministry released seven sector-specific fact sheets that provide additional detail on how to implement relevant sections of the Act and regulation. Click here for the fact sheet.
