The SUSHI Act mandates the development of a standard methodology for identifying the country of origin of seafood to combat illegal fishing.
The SUSHI Act requires the Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and the Administrator of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to create a standard methodology for identifying the country of origin of seafood. This methodology, based on chemical analysis, aims to support enforcement against illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing. The methodology must be consistent with the needs of federal and state law enforcement agencies, minimize processing time, and be portable enough for field use. It should also be applicable to testing prepared seafood.
