Nutritional Labeling

Eurest Dining Services
(Buildings 10-ACRF, 10-CRC, 10-B1, 31, 35, 40, 45)

In January 2011, changes were made in the way the entrees were portioned and priced in the dining centers operated by Eurest Dining Services.

These changes were made to meet the requirements of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, 21 U.S.C. 343(q)(5)(H) implemented in March 2011. Within the Eurest Dining Centers, detailed nutritional information on each item served over 60 times per year is displayed and available for your review.

Some portion sizes have been reduced to USDA recommended sizes to meet the more stringent requirements. In cases where the portion size is reduced, a corresponding lower price will be charged. For those of you wishing to purchase an additional portion, an a la carte price will be available. This information is intended to help you, the customer, make more informed choices when visiting the NIH dining centers.
