The House Resolution urges the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to conduct a study on the health impacts of imported shrimp. The resolution highlights significant concerns regarding the safety and quality of shrimp imported into the United States, which amounts to nearly two billion pounds annually from countries such as India, Ecuador, and Vietnam. It notes a rise in the refusal of shrimp entries by the FDA due to banned antibiotics and raises alarms about poor labor practices in processing facilities, mislabeling, and the difficulty in verifying the origin and quality of these products.

The resolution references a study conducted by the Louisiana State University School of Renewable Natural Resources, which found harmful residues in imported shrimp, including banned substances that can pose serious health risks to consumers. It emphasizes the need for improved screening and enforcement measures for imported seafood, as current regulations may not adequately protect public health. By urging Secretary Kennedy to investigate these issues, the resolution aligns with his stated goal of "Making America Healthy Again" and aims to ensure the safety of seafood consumed by Americans.
