Based on the full Introduced in House · 2026-09-24 text. This explanation has not received human editorial review. This overview describes the proposal’s major provisions; it does not establish what its real-world effects would be.

What it would do

The proposed LABEL Act would change how labels tell consumers where covered fish comes from and whether it is wild or farm-raised. That information would have to appear together, be conspicuous and meet a minimum relative font size. For fish sold in consumer packages, the label would have to appear on the front.

How it would work

The bill would add fish-labeling requirements to the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946. Information required by the existing law would have to use an already specified labeling method and appear where consumers are likely to read and understand it during normal purchases. Its font could be no smaller than the font describing the fish on the package, display, holding unit or bin.

Section 282(c) of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1638a(c)) is amended by adding at the end the following:
Official bill text · Introduced in House · 2026-09-24
(A) the information required by subsection (a) shall be provided to consumers by a means described in paragraph (1) in a conspicuous location, so as to render the information likely to be read and understood by a consumer under normal conditions of purchase, in a font size that is not smaller than the font size describing the farm-raised fish or wild fish on the package, display, holding unit, or bin;

What this analysis cannot establish

  • The bundle supplies the complete introduced bill, but not the existing statutory provisions it references. Those missing provisions are needed to establish the full scope of covered fish, regulated businesses, permitted labeling methods, exceptions and enforcement.
  • The supplied history snapshot does not establish subsequent advancement or enactment. The provisions are described as proposals; no calendar effective date can be established from this evidence.
  • The introduced text specifies no termination date. Other bill versions, member earmark disclosures, committee reports and conference materials are not supplied.
