Calorie labeling at Travis County restaurants is governed by federal FDA rules for chains with 20 or more locations; Texas and Travis County have not added local menu-labeling requirements beyond federal law.
Federal FDA menu-labeling rules under the Affordable Care Act and 21 CFR 101.11 require chain restaurants and similar retail food establishments with 20 or more locations to post calorie information for standard menu items. Smaller independents are not required to disclose. Texas Health and Safety Code does not impose state-level menu labeling. Travis County has not adopted county-specific menu-labeling standards for unincorporated establishments. Voluntary labeling is permitted, and Texas has no preemption barrier preventing voluntary disclosure or future statewide expansion.
Federal FDA enforcement applies to noncompliant chain restaurants; Travis County does not separately cite calorie-labeling violations during routine inspections, focusing instead on food safety standards.
