Calorie labeling on Lubbock chain restaurant menus comes from federal FDA rules under the ACA, not from city or state law. Independent restaurants and small chains face no labeling requirement.
Section 4205 of the federal Affordable Care Act requires chains with 20 or more US locations to post calorie counts on menus and menu boards, plus full nutrition information on request. The FDA enforces this rule nationwide under 21 CFR 101.11. Texas has not layered an additional state requirement. Lubbock has no city ordinance expanding labeling to local independents like the Cast Iron Grill or Caprock Cafe. Small operators can voluntarily display nutrition info but are not required to. The rule applies to drive-thru menu boards, including those along Slide Road and 82nd Street.
FDA violations are handled federally with warning letters and possible injunctive action. The city does not separately fine operators for labeling lapses.
