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, which the U.S. imports in significant quantities from various countries. The resolution highlights concerns regarding the safety and quality of these shrimp, particularly in light of recent FDA refusals of shrimp imports due to banned antibiotics and the prevalence of mislabeling that misleads consumers about the shrimp's origin. It also references a study conducted by Louisiana State University that found harmful drug and sulfite residues in imported shrimp, raising alarms about the potential health risks associated with their consumption.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of ensuring the safety of seafood consumed by Americans, as well as the need for improved screening and enforcement measures for imported seafood. It aligns with Secretary Kennedy's stated goal of "Making America Healthy Again" by advocating for a thorough examination of the nearly two billion pounds of shrimp imported annually. The resolution calls for action to protect public health and ensure that food safety standards are upheld in the U.S. seafood market.
