New Obamacare regulations targeting the fast food and grocery store market that require signs detailing calorie and nutritional information on every product will force pizza makers like Domino\u2019s to post up to 34 million different signs in every store: One for every possible pizza order.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not like a Big Mac. Pizza is customizable, there are options to factor in,\u201d said Jenny Fouracre-Petko, legislative director for Domino\u2019s and a member of the trade group American Pizza Community. \u201cThere are 34 million pizza combinations. We\u2019ve done the math.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ditto for the grocery stores, which are shifting to providing more fresh made and baked goods, said Erik Lieberman, counsel for the Food Marketing Institute. \u201cConsider just one fresh-baked blueberry muffin. If one is sold, you need a nutrition sign or sticker. If a half dozen are sold, a different one is required. Same if you sell a dozen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lieberman predicted that the new regulations being finalized by the Food and Drug Administration for chains with 20 stores or more will cost the grocery industry $1 billion. He said stores average 1,500 fresh made items each.<\/p>\n

Fouracre-Petko said that just posting generic nutrition signs in Domino\u2019s will cost $4,700 per location, senseless, she said, because virtually all Domino\u2019s customers order by phone and get their food delivered, so most will never see them. She said that 10 percent of pizza customers enter a Domino\u2019s store. \u201cCoughing up almost $5,000 for something like this will hurt,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Lieberman said that consumers will get stuck with the bill. \u201cIt\u2019s one more cost consumers are going to have to pay for,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
