Plain-English Summary
The federal government would develop a standard way to identify and label where shrimp comes from so consumers and businesses know whether it was caught or farmed domestically or imported from other countries. This affects seafood companies, restaurants, grocery stores, and shoppers who want to know the origin of the shrimp they're buying or selling. The Commerce Department would be responsible for creating this labeling system.
