Official:Amending The Philadelphia Code to add certain requirements related to the disclosure of ingredients and nutritional information of foods offered for sale in certain fast food restaurants.
Sponsor: Councilmember Reynolds Brown
Introduced: June 9, 2005
: Committee on Public Health and Human Services
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2004–2007 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill requires fast food restaurants in Philadelphia to disclose ingredients and nutritional information about their menu items by January 1, 2006.
