The FDA already has some mandates[1]. Using your example, Starbucks falls under those mandates, and if you look at the Starbucks menu at their stores they do contain the calories of the drinks.

The real problem is that often times the calories listed are not 100% accurate.

Casey Neistat made a fun little video[1] that explores this a bit. Without spoilers, it was a bit surprising just how off some of the food is.

Saw that a while back. It is pretty interesting how off most were. Makes you wonder about all foods.
