The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed an additional extension for compliance with the menu labeling rules required by the Affordable Care Act. Under the proposed rule, the current compliance deadline of July 26, 2018, would be extended to January 1, 2020, for manufacturers with $10 million or more in annual food sales; for manufacturers with less than that amount, the date would be extended to January 1, 2021.
