Safe Shrimp Act: Funding Inspections and Boosting Domestic Consumption.
This law establishes a new fund, financed by import duties on shrimp, dedicated to enhancing food safety and promoting domestic consumption. Half of the money will fund rigorous inspections of imported shrimp for contaminants and forced labor compliance. The other half is allocated to programs encouraging Americans to consume more shrimp.
Key points
Increased Food Safety: Enhanced testing and inspection of imported shrimp to detect unapproved antibiotics and contaminants, making seafood safer for consumers.
Market Support: Half of the funds will be used by the USDA to encourage the purchase and consumption of domestic shrimp.
Combating Illegal Imports: New resources for federal agencies to coordinate efforts to block shrimp imports linked to forced labor or illegal fishing practices.
