据外媒报道,美国餐馆协会(National Restaurant Association)日前对纽约市卫生局发起控告,试图阻止连锁餐厅高钠菜品加注警告标识的新规。
美国餐馆协会3日表示,根据规定在全美各地拥有15家以上分店的连锁餐厅,必须提醒顾客哪些餐点含盐量高,此举不但加重餐厅老板的负担,且超越市议会的职权范围。
根据最新规定,餐馆菜品钠含量高于美国卫生官员每日建议的2300毫克摄取上限,就需加注白色盐罐的黑色三角形警示标识。

A restaurant industry trade group is suing New York City's Board of Health to stop it from enforcing a new rule requiring many chain restaurants to post warnings on menu items that are high in sodium.
The National Restaurant Association said on Thursday the Board of Health unfairly burdened restaurant owners and usurped the power of the popularly elected City Council by forcing restaurants with more than 15 locations nationwide to warn diners about salty foods.
