Summary

Existing law, the California Retail Food Code, requires, on and after January 1, 2011, each food facility in the state that operates under common ownership or control with at least 19 other food facilities with the same name in the state and that offers for sale substantially the same menu items or that meets other specified criteria to disclose calorie content information per standard menu item, as specified. The State Department of Public Health administers and local enforcement agencies enforce this code. Existing law provides that, on and after July 1, 2009, a food facility that violates these provisions is guilty of an infraction. Existing law, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, requires certain restaurants and similar retail food establishments that are part of a chain with 20 or more locations doing business under the same name and offering for sale substantially the same menu items to disclose nutrient content information, as specified, and provides that certain state and local nutrient content information requirements that are not identical to the federal law are preempted. This bill would repeal the above-described state calorie content disclosure requirements of the California Retail Food Code, and would require a food facility that is subject to the federal disclosure provisions for nutrient content information or was subject to the state calorie content disclosure requirements, as specified, to comply with these federal disclosure requirements and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto. It would also require the department or local enforcement agencies to enforce these provisions, as specified, and would make a violation thereof an infraction or subject to a civil penalty. By expanding the definition of a crime and adding new local enforcement duties, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
