How much wiggle room is built into the law? As mentioned in the article, portioning varies by location and chef. What happens if a chef adds an extra tablespoon of ranch dressing or gets a shipment of slightly larger chickens? The US is such a litigious society that it's a question of when, not if, lawsuits will be filed. I'd like to think provisions for this are built into the law but I doubt it.
Also, what about specials? Have some fish left over from the weekend and want to run a special? Well figure out your exact portions, calculate calories, and reprint your menus. Oh wait, the fish went bad while you were doing all of that. Sorry. Try again next week.

- potatolicious 17y agoI'm not sure about the state the article is about - but in Washington it only applies to chains, which have sophisticated supply chains that ensure a pretty narrow tolerance of serving sizes and contents. This certainly doesn't apply to your corner mom and pop shop where serving sizes and contents vary by the plate.
