Yum Brands--the parent of KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Long John
Silver's and A&W All-American Food--says it will voluntarily
add product calorie information to menu boards in its company-owned
restaurants nationwide. The Associated Press reports that Yum said its
calorie counts will be based on individual serving sizes rather than,
for instance, on an entire pizza or bucket of chicken that a family
would dig into. Yum also said it will encourage its franchisees to
provide the same calorie information on their menu boards.
Louisville-based Yum has about 20,000 U.S. restaurants, with about 4,000
of those being company-owned.
