Under the law, which restaurant qualifies to post calorie information on menus?

• A. The restaurant is part of a chain with at least 20 locations
• B. The restaurant operates locations in two or more states
• C. The restaurant was new after the law passed, while existing restaurants are exempt
• D. The restaurant could be categorized as a fast casual or quick service restaurant

Answer: (A)

The rule being tested targets chains, not just any restaurant. Under this labeling requirement, a restaurant must post calorie information if it’s part of a chain with 20 or more locations nationwide. The key idea is the size of the chain—the number of locations—rather than how many states it operates in or what type of dining concept it is. So the statement that the restaurant qualifies is the one describing a chain with at least 20 locations. That directly aligns with the criterion that triggers posting calories on menus and menu boards. The other factors—operating in multiple states, being newly opened after the law, or being categorized as fast casual versus quick service—do not determine eligibility on their own.
