Bill Summary

An Act To Amend Section 69-1-55, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Provide That Any Mixed Seafood Product Cooked On Premises Shall Be Allowed Product Labels To Indicate That Some Of The Product Is Domestic And Some Is Imported; To Provide That Prepackaged Goods Sold By Grocery Stores That Are Subject To Federal Guidelines Such As Cool Regulations Through The Usda Shall Follow The Federal Guidelines Relating To Font Size; And For Related Purposes.

AI Summary

This bill amends Mississippi law to allow food service establishments, such as restaurants, to use a clear legend on their menus to indicate when a mixed seafood product contains both domestic and imported ingredients, rather than having to list the origin of each individual item. It also clarifies that prepackaged goods sold by grocery stores that are already subject to federal guidelines, like the Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) regulations through the USDA, must follow those federal rules regarding font size for labeling. The bill aims to provide more flexibility in labeling while ensuring consumers are informed about the origin of their seafood.
