What the bill would do, and why it matters
Fish labels can tell shoppers where fish comes from and whether it was wild or farm-raised. The LABEL Act would require that information to be prominent and combined, and put it on the front of consumer packages.
- INTRODUCED ONLY This bill has been introduced and possibly referred to a committee, but it has not passed any vote. Most introduced bills never become law — they die in committee without a hearing.
- DATA NOTE No Congressional Research Service summary was available.
- Make fish labels more visible and combined
For wild and farm-raised fish, the country-of-origin and production-method information would have to appear conspicuously and in a font at least as large as the description of the fish. The two designations would have to appear together; on consumer packages, the label would have to be on the front.
The bill would change how shoppers see country-of-origin and production-method information for fish. Its practical effect would be to make those details more noticeable and easier to find together when buying fish.
