Model Healthy Children’s Meals Ordinance

Share On Social!

It’s no secret that restaurants’ kids’ meals tend to be unhealthy. What if local communities could ensure that kids’ meals in their neighborhoods only offered food geared towards kids that was nutritious?

NPLAN, a project of ChangeLab Solutions, has developed a model ordinance to help jurisdictions regulate the nutritional content of children’s meals sold at restaurants in their communities. Our Model Healthy Children’s Meals Ordinance provides local governments with a way to steer restaurants toward providing healthier options for children by setting nutrition standards for children’s meals. Using this model legislation, communities can choose to regulate the nutritional quality of either the entire children’s meal or the beverages served to children as part of a children’s meal.
