Bill Summary
Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to deem a food to be misbranded if it contains genetically-engineered fish unless the food bears a label stating that it contains genetically-engineered fish.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which is a law that governs the safety and labeling of food and drugs in the United States, to require that any food containing genetically engineered fish must be clearly labeled as such. Genetically engineered fish are fish that have had their genetic material altered, often to grow faster or resist disease. The bill essentially deems such food to be "misbranded," meaning it is improperly labeled, if this specific disclosure is missing.
