Safer Shrimp Imports Act

This bill would block shrimp from being imported into the United States from countries that don't have food safety inspection systems for shrimp that are as strong as the FDA's system, or that haven't made an agreement to let the FDA inspect their shrimp facilities. The FDA would be required to work with governments of countries that have facilities producing shrimp for the U.S. market to set up these inspection agreements. Any shrimp coming from a country that doesn't meet these requirements would be considered unsafe and would not be allowed to be sold in the United States.
