HI HR41

Expresses support for mandatory labeling of raw fish treated with carbon monoxide or gas to prevent oxidation and preserve color.

Notes that carbon monoxide treatment can mask visual evidence of spoilage, causing treated fish to appear fresh while potentially hiding health hazards.

References bans on carbon monoxide treatment in the European Union, Canada, and Japan due to safety concerns about spoilage masking.

Acknowledges the federal Food and Drug Administration deems carbon monoxide-treated fish as "generally recognized as safe" but states current U.S. law does not require disclosure labeling.

Directs transmission of the resolution to the Director of Health to inform policy decisions on fish labeling requirements.
