Accuracy in Menus

Evelyn F. Kaitz

Food Review/ National Food Review, 1980, vol. NFR 09, issue 01

Abstract: There are no labels giving information about the food eaten in restaurants, but there are menus, photographs, graphic illustrations, as well as verbal descriptions by employees. How accurate is this information? The question of accurate representation of food purchased in restaurants, fast food establishes, cafeterias, or carry-outs is of growing concern to consumer groups, the food service industry, and regulators. Consumers arc no doubt being misled in some eating establishments, and are paying for things they do not get.
