Doral, FL Public Health Rules: Calorie Labeling (2026)

Article X of Chapter 2 requires that at least 50 percent of food offered for sale or provided at any city event or city facility meet four nutrition caps: no more than 35 percent of total calories from fat, no more than 10 percent from saturated fat, no more than 35 percent of total weight from sugar (natural or added), and no more than 175 calories per individual food item. At least half of all beverages offered must also qualify: fruit drinks with 50 percent or more real juice and no added sweeteners, plain drinking water, dairy or nondairy milk, or electrolyte drinks capped at 42 grams of added sweetener per 20-ounce serving.

Section 2-452(c) bars the city from letting vendors price-steer customers away from the healthy choice: a compliant item cannot cost more than 10 percent above a comparable nonconforming product. Section 2-453 puts the city manager or a designee in charge of enforcement and requires that office to consult a licensed nutritionist. Every RFP, ITB, or other solicitation for concession services at a city event or facility must weigh a bidder's nutritional offerings at no less than 20 percent of the total score, and every resulting contract must state that failing to meet these standards is a material breach subject to immediate termination.

The ordinance, adopted in 2012, defines a 'city event' to exclude third-party events the city merely sponsors, and a 'city facility' as property the city itself owns and operates, so the rule reaches city-run concessions rather than private restaurants elsewhere in Doral.
