California has become the first US state to force fast-food restaurant chains to list calories on their menus.
While New York officials introduced a similar law in April, California is the first state to impose the calorie-count in a bid to tackle obesity.
From 1 July 2009 fast-food chains with more than 20 outlets will be required to offer diners a list detailing the calorie counts and nutritional information of their menus.
From 1 January 2011 they will need to list this information on their menus and menu boards.
California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said: “This legislation will help Californians make more informed, healthier choices by making calorie information easily accessible at thousands of restaurants throughout our state.”
