NYC BOARD OF HEALTH PROPERLY ISSUED REGULATION REQUIRING CERTAIN RESTAURANTS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEVEL OF SODIUM IN THE RESTAURANT FOOD.

The First Department, in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Gesmer, determined the NYC Board of Health properly issued a regulation requiring certain restaurant to provide factual information about the level of sodium in the restaurant food. The decision is comprehensive and cannot fairly be summarized here. Applying the Boreali factors, the First Department held the rule was well within the board’s rule-making authority. In addition, the court found the rule did not violate the First Amendment (commercial speech):

Salt is both an essential ingredient of our diet and, when consumed in excess, a significant health hazard. Excess consumption of sodium, the primary ingredient of salt, can cause high blood pressure, which is in turn correlated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, congestive heart failure and kidney disease, according to the overwhelming consensus among scientists and the federal agencies charged with protecting the nation’s health. To address this issue, defendant New York City Board of Health (the Board) adopted a rule requiring certain restaurants to provide factual information to consumers on this issue. That rule is challenged in this appeal by the National Restaurant Association (NRA). We affirm the trial court’s rejection of that challenge, since the Board acted legally, constitutionally and well within its authority in adopting this limited yet salutary rule. National Rest.
