SHRIMP Act of 2026
The SHRIMP Act of 2026 directs the Secretary of Commerce to create a testing method for identifying the country of origin for shrimp, covering raw, cooked, and prepared forms. This new methodology must include chemical analysis, be usable in a portable field kit, and minimize testing time to help law enforcement combat illegal fishing and improve food safety. Within 18 months of enactment, officials must develop this approach, and within two years, submit a report detailing the method and a plan to put it into practice. The law specifically applies to shrimp harvested, cultivated, or imported into the United States for human consumption.
