The article reports that Democrats in Congress introduced the Food Labeling Modernization Act and quotes Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr. describing the bill as a way to help consumers navigate opaque food labels; it also says the legislation would add front-of-package labels, clearer allergen marking, and tighter rules against misleading claims.

This is direct evidence that the bill was introduced, which satisfies the reintroduction commitment at least in the later term.

FDA announced a proposed front-of-package 'Nutrition Info box' for most packaged foods, covering saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars with low/medium/high indicators. This advances one major element of the pledge, but it is an agency action rather than a congressional reintroduction of the bill itself.

Official evidence that part of the promised labeling agenda moved forward, though not via the promised bill reintroduction.

Congress.gov lists H.R.5425 as the Food Labeling Modernization Act of 2018, sponsored by Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr. and introduced on 04/02/2018. The CRS summary says it required the front of food packages to bear a nutrition label under FDA regulations.

This earlier Pallone-sponsored version establishes that the 2023 H.R.2901 was a later reintroduction of a prior Food Labeling Modernization Act effort.

FDA announced a proposed rule to require front-of-package nutrition labels for most packaged foods, giving consumers visible information about saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars in a simple Low/Med/High format.

FDA action independently advanced part of the same front-of-package labeling agenda, though the key promise was fulfilled through Pallone's bill reintroduction rather than this agency proposal.
