The day before the rule was set to take effect on March 1, 2016, a New
York state appeals court reportedly granted an emergency stay on
enforcement of a municipal regulation requiring chain restaurants to
feature salt-warning icons on menus next to items containing 2,300
milligrams or more of sodium. A justice in the Appellate Division of the
New York Supreme Court granted the emergency measure, and a panel
from that court will next decide whether to grant a preliminary injunction
on enforcement followed by a full appeal of the case. See Bloomberg
Business, February 29, 2016.
