In November 2008, the City Council in Philadelphia passed a menu labeling law that will require restaurants with more than 15 locations across the city to post calorie counts on their menus.

That part we’re familiar with, thanks to similar laws in New York City and California, but Philly goes even further by adding requirements to post levels of saturated and trans fat, sodium and carbohydrates, as well as calories, on printed menus available in the restaurants (just calories will go on the big menu boards you see when you walk into fast food outlets).

The law is the most stringent to date, and the Center for Science in the Public Interest says it hopes the legislation will become a model for other cities and states that want their people to “see the nutritional price for what they’re ordering as well as the financial price,” as CSPI put it in a news release.
