A call to oblige restaurants and cafés in Bahrain to display calorie counts on menus has been made by public representatives.
Although the rule was initially approved in 2018 and set for implementation on January 1, 2019, it has yet to be enforced due to the absence of a standardised tool or methodology for calculating calorie content.
The delay was further compounded by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, during which dine-in services were heavily restricted.
