Tennessee SB1471 requires food establishments to disclose the country of origin and type of fish for certain seafood items.
Tennessee SB1471 amends state laws to mandate that food establishments disclose the country of origin and whether the fish is farm-raised or wild for certain seafood items. Specifically, establishments must provide this information for farm-raised and wild fish, excluding those used as ingredients in processed foods. Disclosures must be made via labels, signs, or menu addenda. Exemptions apply to retailers already required to disclose origin, hospitals, and groups pre-ordering food. The act includes escalating civil penalties for non-compliance and takes effect July 1, 2026.
