dc.description.abstract	This review was conducted between January and March 2016 to inform ongoing implementation of the NSW Fast Choices Menu Labelling legislation. This legislation was passed by NSW Parliament in November 2010 requiring certain food outlets particularly in the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) setting to display nutrition information in the form of numeric kilojoule (kJ) amounts for food and beverage items at the point-of-sale, on menu boards. Requirements came into effect on 1 February 2011, with a 12-month period for QSRs to comply before 1 February 2012. The primary audience for this review is the Working Group of the Fast Choices Labelling Reference Group within NSW. Research questions and primary outcomes, inclusion and exclusion criteria were determined by the author of this review in consultation with the Working Group. The findings of this review will be triangulated with those from a broad stakeholder consultation (online survey) to inform potential future steps in menu labelling.	en
