SOURCE Authors’ analysis of data from MenuStat (Note 12 in text) and data collected about restaurant characteristics and policies.

NOTES Mean per item calories in each year are predicted means from models that adjusted for children’s menu item status, whether an item was offered regionally or for a limited time only, whether a restaurant chain is national, the percent of restaurant locations within each chain subject to local menu labeling regulation, and restaurant type (fast food, full service, fast casual). Significance refers to differences between restaurants with voluntary national menu labeling in each year and those without such labeling.
