In the United States, chain restaurants with 20 or more locations are federally mandated to provide nutritional information for standard menu items. This requirement is the result of legislation aimed at helping consumers make more informed dietary choices.

The term ADA in the food industry can refer to two distinct topics: the Americans with Disabilities Act, a federal civil rights law, and azodicarbonamide, a synthetic food additive used as a dough conditioner. This duality means understanding the context is crucial for food businesses.

Since April 2022, a UK law has required large food businesses with over 250 employees to display calorie information on menus and food labels, including on third-party delivery apps like Just Eat. However, many smaller, independent restaurants are exempt from this mandatory requirement, which is why calorie counts are often missing from their menus on the app.
