Senator Cindy Hyde Smith introduces Safer Shrimp Imports Act

Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith introduced legislation to ensure the quality of imported shrimp and strengthen federal inspection standards.

The Safer Shrimp Imports Act would require overseas shrimp facility inspections and require foreign countries to meet food safety inspection standards equal to U.S. shrimp producers.

The hope is to level the playing field for American shrimpers affected by foreign seafood.
