Crawfish and seafood; revise certain provisions relating to labeling requirements.

Summary

The bill lets wholesalers, processors, retailers and restaurants label seafood and crawfish by the country where it was harvested or processed instead of only “domestic” or “imported.” It also requires grocery stores, seafood markets and other retailers that sell fresh or unfrozen products directly to consumers to follow state labeling rules, while products already meeting federal COOL are exempt. Violations can bring civil fines up to $10,000 and possible misdemeanor charges.
