Since May 5 when New York City mandated restaurants to print the calorie count of the meals on menus 81 dining establishments have been served notice by the city Health Department for violation of the law.
Among those found guilty were Dunkin' Donuts, T.G.I. Friday's and McDonalds. Deputy Commissioner Jessica Leighton of the Health Department told the New York Post, the city is not yet fining the violating restaurants since the law was still on a educational phase. "We are trying to help the owners of the establishments understand the new rule,"Leighton said.
So far only about 25 percent of the city's 2,000 dining spots comply with the new rule.
