My Department is developing a General Scheme of a Public Health (Calorie Posting and Workplace Wellbeing) Bill and will conduct a consultation and regulatory impact analysis as part of that process. It is anticipated that the General Scheme will be developed by end of year.
The objective of this legislation is to require food premises to display calories on menus and to require all public sector employers to have in place a Health and Wellbeing policy and to report on same.
