Posts - Bill - S 667 Safer Shrimp Imports Act

senate 02/20/2025 - 119th Congress

We are introducing the "Safer Shrimp Imports Act" to ensure that foreign facilities manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding shrimp for U.S. consumption comply with equivalent safety and inspection standards as those in the United States. This legislation aims to protect consumers by refusing entry to shrimp from countries that do not meet these requirements, thereby safeguarding food quality and public health.
