Bill > S3065

This bill, known as the Let Americans Buy with Explicit Labeling (LABEL) Act, aims to improve country of origin and method of production labeling for fish products. Specifically, the bill amends Section 282(c) of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 to require that information about fish—whether farm-raised or wild-caught—be displayed prominently and legibly on packaging, displays, holding units, or bins. The labeling must be in a font size equal to or larger than the font used to describe the type of fish, and positioned in a way that makes it likely to be read and understood by consumers under normal purchasing conditions. The bill would take effect 180 days after its enactment, giving businesses time to update their product labeling. The goal of this legislation is to provide consumers with more transparent and easily accessible information about the origin and production method of fish products they are purchasing.
