Official:Amending Title 6 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Health Code," by adding a new section requiring that chain restaurants obtain and display certain nutrition information for food, meal and beverage items offered for sale, and by making certain technical changes, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Reynolds Brown
Introduced: March 1, 2007
: 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 chain restaurants in Philadelphia to provide nutrition information for their menu items, including calories, fat, carbohydrates, and sodium content.
