Bill > H4065

This bill mandates that the department of public health establish a food labeling program for saltwater fish that are caught, brought ashore, and sold commercially, such as tuna, mackerel, swordfish, grouper, striped bass, and bluefish. The purpose of these labels is to inform consumers about the safety of eating these fish, specifically detailing the risks associated with toxin levels and their potential harm to human health, with a particular focus on vulnerable groups like young children, women of child-bearing age, and pregnant women.
