In a letter dated Wednesday, Higgins cited the recent recalls of shrimp that were shown to have potential radioactive contamination.
“With widespread reports of toxic shrimp being shipped to our country, I respectfully urge a pause on all such imports until the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can effectively address this issue,” the letter read.
Copies of the letter were also sent to the secretaries of Commerce, Agriculture and Health and Human Services, as well as the U.S. Trade Representative.
“I recommend that you use executive authority to ensure the integrity of our food supply by
implementing a pause on shrimp imports until the FDA can guarantee that contaminated and radioactive products are not entering the country,” the letter read. “Every shipment of seafood reaching our shores should meet the highest American standards of safety.”
It is unclear if the president has the legal authority to unilaterally ban all shrimp imports.
