The City requires chain restaurants to post a warning icon next to certain menu items that contain high levels of added sugars. Chain restaurants must also display a warning statement explaining the health risks of consuming high amounts of added sugars.

A restaurant is considered part of a chain if it:

• Is part of a national or local chain with 15 or more locations
• Offers mostly the same menu items at each location
• Offers food with similar portion sizes and ingredients at each location

The Health Department has guidance for chain restaurants on how to comply with this requirement.

The Health Department may issue a summons for violations, subject to a $200 fine, beginning on October 4, 2025. Complaints are not accepted at this time.
