The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is proposing that the Board of Health amend Article 81 of the Health Code, related to the maximum size of sugary drinks and self-service beverage cups sold and offered in food service establishments.
As noted in the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Sodium Warning Label Proposal, several leading scientific bodies in the United States have conducted recent reviews of the evidence on the adverse health effects of dietary sodium, and all agree in their recommendation that daily sodium intake not exceed 2,300mg for all. However, recent estimates suggest that the average daily sodium intake is more than 3,400mg for persons who are two years and older in the United States; and, it is common in our country for people to consume more than twice the recommended daily dietary sodium limit. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has reported that restaurant/processed food account for more than three-quarters of daily sodium intake; and restaurant food is more sodium-dense than food prepared at home5. According to DOHMH, the chain food service establishments impacted by this proposal account for one-third of all restaurant traffic in NYC; and the sodium content of restaurant food or meals is 2300 mg or greater for 10% of menu items sold in NYC chain food service establishments covered by the proposed rule.
