Summary
The Buy American Seafood Act prohibits federal agencies from procuring foreign seafood for covered food programs, including school lunch and breakfast programs, emergency food assistance, and Department of Defense food services. Seafood must be harvested in U.S. waters by U.S.-flagged vessels or produced and processed domestically through aquaculture or seafood processing. The Secretary of Agriculture may waive this requirement if U.S.-produced seafood is insufficient in quantity or does not meet applicable food safety or quality standards, with all waivers to be published in the Federal Register and reported to Congress.
