Details
Submitted by[?]: Green Socialist Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
| Pontesian laws state that companies must clearly label food and beverages, and that all ingredients and nutritional information must be listed, so we think it is necessary to list any chemicals or genetically modified ingredients that came in contact or is in the questioned food. People need to know exactly what they are eating. |
