COMMISSIONER DEBORAH TAYLOR TATE APPLAUDS YUM! BRANDS 
DECISION TO MAKE NUTRITION INFORMATION AVAILABLE 
ON RESTAURANT MENU BOARDS
Today Yum! Brands, Inc. has taken a great step forward in educating families about the content 
of the food they are consuming.  Yum! Brands is the first national restaurant chain to voluntarily 
make this information available on their menu boards.  As the world’s largest restaurant 
company in terms of system restaurants, with more than 35,000 locations in over 100 countries 
and territories, Yum’s commitment will truly influence the decisions—and eating habits-- of 
millions of customers.  This will not only be helpful for parents in making healthier choices, but 
hopefully moves us one step closer to eradicating the epidemic of childhood obesity.
