Maddy summaryThis bill requires chain restaurants with fifteen or more locations in New York to place a warning icon on menus next to standard menu items that contain high levels of sodium. The law mandates that these icons be accompanied by a factual statement explaining that the sodium content exceeds the daily recommended limit and links high intake to increased risks of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. To ensure compliance, restaurant chains must report sodium levels for their menu items to the state department every ninety days, while the department will provide guidance on the icon design and issue a review report six years after the law takes effect.
