HB 1572: Salmon for consumption label

Requiring additional labeling on salmon sold for human consumption.

Summary

  • Fresh or frozen salmon that is offered for retail sale must be labeled and advertised showing the common name of the salmon species, whether it is farm raised salmon or commercially caught salmon and whether it is domestic or imported salmon, and, if Washington-caught or Washington-grown, that it is Washington-caught or Washington-grown. Violations of these provisions constitute misbranding.
