Dive Summary:

• The Food Marketing Institute has continued its strong support of bringing back 'common sense' regulations to nutritional labeling in grocery stores.
• The new legislation would separate the mandated nutritional labeling of fast food restaurants, from the already highly regulated grocery store labeling. 
• The division of these two sectors, what industry leaders are calling 'common sense,' is critical in deterring unnecessary and overwrought regulations on an already scrutinized marketplace. 

From the article:

The Food Marketing Institute (FMI) today reiterated its strong support for bringing “common sense” back to Washington by excluding mainstream grocery stores from “Nutrition Labeling of Standard Menu Items at Chain Restaurants,” a provision under the Affordable Care Act. FMI supports Reps. John Carter (R-TX) and Henry Cuellar (D-TX) and Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO) who have introduced legislation that would return the scope of the law to what was originally intended by Congress – which never mentioned grocery stores.
