Mississippi Senate passes bill creating task force to assess seafood labeling policy
SUMMARY: Legislation in Mississippi aimed at improving seafood transparency has been modified to establish a “Mississippi Seafood Labeling Task Force” instead of directly expanding existing country-of-origin labeling laws. Initially passed unanimously in the House, House Bill 602 was significantly altered by the Senate. The task force will include state officials and industry representatives to address seafood labeling issues, including genetic testing and marketing strategies for local seafood. The law currently requires transparency for shrimp and crawfish but advocates seek broader regulations. Mislabeling of seafood, notably following a high-profile case involving a Biloxi restaurant, has raised concerns about consumer trust.

SUMMARY: Congressman Bennie Thompson has called for a federal investigation into the death of Demartravion “Trey” Reed, a Black student found hanging on Delta State University’s campus.

Reed’s family plans an independent autopsy and demands transparency, expressing concerns over the university’s handling and communication. Delta State officials say they remain in contact with the family and strive not to compromise the investigation. The case echoes Mississippi’s troubled history of racial violence, prompting social media speculation despite official statements. Further updates are expected.
