Is it legal for a franchise restaurant to withold nutrition information?
I know a restaurant chain who repeatedly refuses to provide nutritional information when asked. For years, this company has given everyone the runaround. Being a franchise owner myself, I was told that I must have nutrition information about our food available upon request. My question is whether or not it is legal for a fast-food franchise to repeatedly refuse to provide nutritional values for their products. Who regulates this kind of thing? To whose attention should this be brought? It is a national chain, not some local mom-and-pop store.
No this is not Legal I work in a restaurant chain and we MUST provide any customer who asks for it nutritional information. If this is a chain then I suggest you call head office and speak to someone higher up on the ladder.

Right now there are many states that have that issue currently in legislation. As far as the FDA, the only time that nutritional information has to be available is if they are making a certain health claim. For instance is they are claiming a menu item is low-fat or low-calorie etc.
I’m not sure what restaurant you are talking about, but I know that Quiznos does not supply nutritional information in their stores or online. That has always annoyed me. I want to know what I am eating, so I won’t ever eat there because of that.

I think it’s a Federal Law that it must be available. Please check with your local health department.
