About this course

Calorie labelling in the out-of-home sector is designed to give consumers clear, accessible information so they can make informed choices about what they eat and drink. The regulations require large food businesses in England to display calorie information for non-prepacked food and drink served for immediate consumption, whether eaten on-site, taken away, or ordered online.

By providing this information at the point where customers make their choices, businesses can help people understand the impact of their selections in the context of their daily diet. Calorie labelling also supports wider public health goals, encouraging the industry to reformulate recipes, reduce portion sizes, and introduce lower-calorie options.

The rules apply to a wide range of settings, from restaurants, cafes, and takeaways to contract caterers, supermarkets, and transport services, with certain exemptions for specific foods and situations. Compliance means more than just displaying numbers — it’s about accuracy, clarity, and making sure that the information is presented in a way that customers can easily use.

This course explains how the regulations work, who they apply to, and what’s expected of businesses. Gain a clear understanding of how to apply the requirements to your menu, calculate calorie content correctly, and meet the legal standards while also contributing to healthier eating habits nationwide.
