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[?]:
| This would mean companies would have to "clearly label food and beverage products, in a manner that can be easily understood" and that both "ingredients and corresponding nutritional information must be listed" on food packaging. 1.

| Message | Then the SSP intends to propose a formal vote. However, we'll leave it a while longer - the vote would be caught by the impending elections and reset, which would send it back to the House. |
