Show Notes
Louisianas seafood industry is under threat from co-mingling scams, where foreign seafood is mixed with domestic catches and sold as Louisianas finest. State representatives are fighting back with new bills. Rep Tim Kerners House Bill 857 requires clear labeling if domestic and foreign seafood are blended, imposing hefty fines for violations. Meanwhile, Rep Jessica Domangues bill mandates retailers to hold import seller invoices for six months, aiding inspectors in detecting fraud. These measures aim to protect jobs and preserve the authenticity of Louisianas seafood.
