For now, there will be no clash between the Food and Drug Administration and local officials regarding enforcement of New York City's rule requiring certain food vendors to post calorie counts on their menus.

On Friday, a city attorney and an attorney for an industry group representing businesses that would have been subject to the city's updated calorie-count requirement signed a settlement agreeing to hold off enforcement until next May, when the federal government plans to implement its own rule.

New York City has enforced a calorie-count requirement for chain restaurants with 15 or more locations nationwide since 2008.
