Soon, you may not be able to ignore how many calories are in the breakfast sandwich or doughnut you like to stop for in the morning.
The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday will release new rules that will require chain restaurants with 20 or more locations to begin posting calorie information on their menus.
"Americans eat and drink about one-third of their calories away from home, and people today expect clear information about the products they consume," FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg said in a statement.
The labeling rules will take effect a year from now.
