United StatesBill would require clearer origin labels on wild and farm-raised fish
If enacted, the bill would require clearer labels on wild and farm-raised fish, with packaged fish labeled on the front starting one year later.
What it does
Fish labels would clearly show required information and pair the country of origin with whether the fish is wild or farm-raised. Packaged fish would carry the label on the front.
Argument forShoppers could more easily see where fish came from and whether it was farm-raised or wild before buying it.
Argument againstStores may need to change fish displays and packaging, which could add work for sellers after the rules take effect.
More detail
Fish labels would show required information clearly and pair the country of origin with whether the fish is wild or farm-raised. This applies to covered commodities that are farm-raised fish or wild fish. The required information must use a labeling method described in paragraph (1). For fish in a consumer package, the label must be on the front. These rules would take effect one year after enactment.
