A warning symbol for salty items at chain restaurants will continue to pepper menus throughout New York City after a state judge denied a trade group’s bid to block a rule that requires the label.
The city became the first municipality to require restaurant chains to post high-sodium warnings, forcing eateries with 15 or more locations nationwide to place a triangular salt-shaker icon beside items with at least 2,300 milligrams of sodium.
