LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Want to know how many calories are inthat burrito or fried chicken you're ordering? Fast-food company
Yum Brands Inc. says it's taking the guesswork out of counting
calories.
The parent of KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Long John Silver's and
A&W All-American Food said Wednesday it will voluntarily start
placing product calorie information on menu boards at its
company-owned U.S. restaurants.
The calorie count will be based on individual serving sizes.
Franchisees will be encouraged to provide the same information
on their menu boards.
Yum has about 20,000 U.S. restaurants, and about 4,000 are
company-owned.
Yum will push for federal legislation to set uniform guidelines
for such calorie displays.
