Seafood; establish country of origin and truth in labeling regulation for.
HB 1586 would have required Mississippi retailers and restaurants to label the country of origin for farm-raised and wild fish (excluding catfish and processed foods) sold directly to consumers. It mandated visible labels, signs, or menu disclosures at the point of sale for imported seafood, specifying display size and placement. The State Health Officer would have enforced compliance and imposed civil penalties for violations. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
