to 616.580. The rules adopted by the authority must include, but need
not be limited to, rules for the rounding of stated values and the
establishment of specifications for total calorie statements and other required
statements. In adopting rules under this section, the authority shall:
(a) To the extent
the authority considers practicable, follow any relevant United States Food and
Drug Administration practices, standards and rules for nutritional labeling;
and
(b) Seek input
from representatives of chain restaurants.
(2) The authority
shall adopt rules establishing conditions under which a menu board serving the
drive-through area of a chain restaurant may qualify for a full or partial
exception from ORS 616.565 and 616.570. The rules shall make an exception
available only if compliance with ORS 616.565 or 616.570 would require the
violation of local land use laws or sign ordinances, or is impracticable due to
site-specific conditions. As used in this subsection, drive-through area
means an area where customers place orders for and receive menu items while
occupying motor vehicles.

Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, the following are the typical
values for alcoholic beverages:
(A) For wine, 122
calories, 4 grams of carbohydrate and 7 milligrams of sodium for a five-ounce
serving;
(B) For beer
other than light beer, 153 calories, 13 grams of carbohydrate and 14 milligrams
of sodium for a 12-ounce serving;
(C) For light
beer, 103 calories, 6 grams of carbohydrate and 14 milligrams of sodium for a
12-ounce serving; and
(D) For distilled
spirits, 96 calories for a 1.5-ounce serving.
(b) A chain
restaurant shall use the typical values described in paragraph (a) of this
subsection when calculating the total calories for a menu item that includes
one or more alcoholic beverages.
(c) The
authority:
(A) May adopt
rules to require total calorie disclosures for an alcoholic beverage or a menu
item that contains an alcoholic beverage, only if the alcoholic beverage or
menu item is offered by a chain restaurant for 90 or more days during a
calendar year; and
(B) May adopt
rules that exempt containers or dispensers of alcoholic beverages from the use
of food tags to state standard calorie values. [2009 c.314 §4; 2011 c.720 §211]
