The LABEL Act (Let Americans Buy with Explicit Labeling Act) amends existing law to require clearer labeling of fish products sold in the United States. Specifically, it mandates that fish packages and displays show the country of origin and whether the fish is farm-raised or wild-caught in a prominent, easy-to-read location on the label. The required information must appear in a font size at least as large as other descriptions of the fish on the package, ensuring consumers can easily spot and understand this information while shopping. The law applies to all fish sellers and distributors in the U.S. market. The new labeling requirements take effect 180 days after the bill becomes law, giving companies six months to comply with the updated labeling standards.
