35-second read · 4 questions answered below
What does this do?
The LABEL Act strengthens existing fish labeling rules by requiring that country-of-origin and production method information be printed no smaller than the text describing whether fish is farm-raised or wild-caught. It does not add new disclosure categories, only changes how prominently existing required information must appear. The law would take effect 180 days after being signed.
Who does it affect?
The bill affects grocery stores, seafood markets, and other retailers selling fish directly to consumers, as well as suppliers and producers who package fish for sale.
Why does it matter?
Sellers would no longer be able to shrink origin information while enlarging other marketing text, changing label design requirements industry-wide.
