JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - A new Mississippi law will require
restaurants to disclose whether the catfish they serve is imported
or raised in the United States.
Gov. Haley Barbour signed a bill Tuesday, and it becomes law
July 1.
If a restaurant sells imported catfish, its menu will have to
include that information, and the letters will have to be the same
typeface and size as the listing for the catfish dish.
The new regulation is the latest move to protect the catfish
industry from Asian imports.
In 2007, basa catfish from Vietnam were banned in Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama - three of the top catfish producers in the
country - after illegal antibiotics turned up in basa samples.
