Menu labelling rules, their exemptions, and why sources disagree about the same item.

• What menu calorie labelling does and does not require

  Rules differ by country and by the size of the operator, and the exemptions explain most of what people find confusing.

• Why two sources give different figures for the same item

  Databases, apps and operator sites routinely disagree. The disagreement is usually explicable and the resolution rule is simple.
