On Thursday, Congresswoman Lois Capps announced she will act as the lead sponsor of the Safety and Fraud Enforcement for Seafood Act, or SAFE Seafood Act.
The SAFE Seafood Act is a bill that requires better labeling and safety inspections of seafood sold in the United States.
Capps says the United States imports up to 90% of its seafood, but only 1% is inspected.
"American consumers deserve truthful information about the quality, health risks, and environmental impacts of the seafood they eat. The SAFE Seafood Act will help ensure that consumers know what they are eating and increase enforcement of seafood fraud, while protecting businesses who unknowingly supply fraudulent seafood," said Capps.
