FL S0428

Requires food establishments and public food service establishments (restaurants) selling wild or farm-raised fish originating outside the United States to disclose the country of origin and whether the fish is wild or farm-raised through labels, menu notations, or posted signs meeting specific size and placement requirements (at least 8.5" × 11", placed no less than 36 inches from the floor)

Directs the Commissioner of Agriculture to establish the Florida Wild Fish and Seafood Certification Program, a quality certification program for wild fish and seafood products taken, harvested, or landed in Florida, including wild-caught shrimp

Fishermen and seafood dealers must apply for a participation permit to market products as "Florida wild fish" or "Florida wild seafood," and permits may be suspended or revoked for program violations; non-compliant products must be immediately removed from the market

Defines "wild or farm-raised fish" to include fish and shrimp but explicitly excludes crabs, lobsters, oysters, crayfish, clams, and scallops

Fish not properly labeled under the new requirements would be deemed misbranded under Florida food safety law, and operators who knowingly mislabel wild or farm-raised fish would face misrepresentation penalties; the act takes effect July 1, 2025
