What this bill would do
This bill is known as the Let Americans Buy with Explicit Labeling Act or the LABEL Act. It amends the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 to strengthen country of origin and method of production labeling for fish. Specifically, it requires labeling information for farm-raised and wild fish to be provided in a conspicuous location. This ensures the information is likely to be read and understood by a consumer under normal purchase conditions. The font size for the label must not be smaller than the font size describing the fish on the package, display, holding unit, or bin. The changes take effect 180 days after the bill is enacted into law.
