Section 4205 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that standard menu items at qualifying chain restaurants and vending machines have proper nutrition labeling.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-111hr3590enr/pdf/BILLS-111hr3590enr.pdf )〕 This act falls under Title IV of the ACA: Prevention of Chronic Disease and Improving Public Health, which seeks to "transition from a system focused primarily on treating the sick to one that helps keep people well throughout their lives." Section 4205 is an amendment to the nutrition labeling requirements of Section 403(q)(5) in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), under the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA). Section 4205 mandates labeling nutrition information for foods at chain restaurants and vending machine items to help consumers make more informed food choices.〔 == Importance ==
Section 4205 of the ACA addresses the issues of obesity and chronic disease by raising awareness of calories consumed outside of the home, as, according to the American Journal of Preventative Medicine, these types of calories increase obesity; a disease that cost the U.S. $147 billion in health care expenses in 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/overwt.htm )〕
