Despite the requirement for calorie information on menus in the UK, guests are consuming just as many calories as before. A recent study found that the introduction of mandatory calorie labeling on menus in England has not led to a significant reduction in the number of calories purchased or consumed in out-of-home food settings. Customer awareness of calorie information doubled after the policy was implemented, but the amount of calories purchased and consumed did not decrease. Only 19% of those who noticed calorie labeling reported using it to make their purchasing decision before the policy, and this increased slightly to 22% after the policy implementation. Researchers say that menu labeling may take more time to make a difference. The UK government is preparing to review the menu labeling rules by 2027.
