Menu Labeling - Rules Committee 2009
Oregon Physical Activity & Nutrition Program
The Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention section is currently in the process of developing Oregon Administrative Rules for Oregon's new Menu Labeling Law. Rules will be developed for the first phase of the law which requires chain restaurants to make available, upon request, information about the calories, sodium, saturated fat, trans fat and carbohydrates for all their regular menu items.

Statewide Plan
This plan updates and combines two documents published in 2003, the State Physical Activity Plan and the Statewide Public Health Nutrition Plan. The result is a single, improved comprehensive plan aimed at improving the health and well being of all residents of Oregon.

Prepared with guidance from the state's Public Health Division Physical Activity and Nutrition Program, it represents the work of dozens of organizations and institutions committed to increasing daily physical activity and access to healthy foods and the reduction of chronic diseases for all Oregonians.
