National Seafood Supply Act of 2023

The National Seafood Supply Act of 2023 establishes an Office of Seafood Policy within the Department of Agriculture to coordinate seafood policies and promote domestic seafood production. It creates a "Wild USA Seafood" labeling standard requiring retailers to verify seafood is wild-caught from U.S. waters or farmed in the U.S., with enforcement through warnings and potential fines. The bill also modifies school lunch program rules to encourage domestic seafood purchases, requiring school food authorities to request waivers for foreign seafood and develop plans to increase seafood availability in schools. Additionally, it mandates country of origin labeling for cooked king crab, tanner crab, and salmon products. The legislation aims to strengthen the domestic seafood industry, support rural economies, and improve consumer access to domestically produced seafood.
