Bill > HB1466

This bill modifies existing Mississippi law regarding the labeling of crawfish and seafood to provide more flexibility for businesses and consumers. Key provisions include allowing businesses to label seafood and crawfish by their specific country of origin instead of just "domestic" or "imported," and enabling food service establishments to use a general legend on menus to indicate origin information rather than listing it for each individual item. The bill also exempts products that already comply with federal Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) requirements from these state-specific rules, though grocery stores and seafood markets selling fresh, unfrozen products directly to consumers must still adhere to state labeling laws. The legislation aims to streamline labeling processes while ensuring consumers have access to origin information.
