MINOR

The bill was amended to add several new sponsors and update the legislative history to reflect additional committee actions. The core policy text regarding food date labeling requirements remained substantively unchanged, though minor formatting adjustments were made to terms like 'items' versus 'products' and 'labeling' versus 'labeling'.

ELIGIBILITY

Added eight new sponsors (Shrestha, Gonzalez-Rojas, Raga, Kay, Simone, Anderson, Lupardo, Jackson, Tague, Lemondes) to the list of legislators introducing the bill.

TECHNICAL

Updated legislative status notes to indicate the bill was 'again reported from said committee with amendments' and re-referred, reflecting further review steps.

Changed the word 'items' to 'products' in the body of the law for consistency, and standardized the spelling of 'labeling' in the act title.
