June 15, 2026 — Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry signed legislation requiring commingled seafood to be labeled as such, preventing wholesalers and retailers from mixing imported shrimp with domestic product and selling it as locally sourced.
“I was down in Lafitte today with … our local shrimpers to sign HB 857 into law. This bill finally puts teeth behind the rules by penalizing the sale of unlabeled and commingled seafood,” Landry said in a Facebook post after signing the bill on 11 June. “We’re protecting Louisiana jobs and defending our seafood industry!”
