Le "fait maison" au menu des restaurants, cela signifie quoi ? - France 3 Côte d’Azur
This is going to be pretty confusing at least for a while.
Will France's 'fait maison' law save its culinary reputation? | Life and style | theguardian.com
If correct on the details, this is very helpful.
"ll restaurants must now put the following key phrase on their menus: "Les plats 'fait maison' sont élaborés sur place à partir de produits bruts," ("'Homemade dishes' are made on site from raw produce.") Restaurants that make everything from scratch must then display the words fait maison or the logo somewhere visible, and those that have a mix must put it next to each cooked-from-scratch dish. Those that buy everything in, and so have no fait maison dishes, still have to put the key phrase on menus to "remind their customers of the rule"
