This bill, known as the "Let Americans Buy with Explicit Labeling Act" or "LABEL Act," aims to enhance consumer transparency by amending the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946. Its core purpose is to strengthen the requirements for country of origin and method of production labeling specifically for fish products, encompassing both farm-raised and wild varieties. The legislation mandates that this vital information must be provided to consumers in a conspicuous location , ensuring it is easily readable and understandable under normal purchasing conditions. A key provision specifies that the font size used for this labeling cannot be smaller than the font size describing the fish itself on its package, display, holding unit, or bin. These new requirements are designed to empower consumers with clearer information at the point of purchase and will take effect 180 days after the bill's enactment.
