I didn't know this discussion turned into a fish sauce discussion! Woot!
I love fish sauce (salty and savory and meatiness-enhancing) and As You Know Bob I have reason to make sure the fish sauce I cook with does not contaminate the food and cookware my roommates need, so I've read a bunch of fish sauce labels, and they do tend to put the actual species especially on higher quality fish sauces (such as Red Boat, probably the best generally affordable one).
I am trying to type this with a not so little girl sitting on me.
More broadly, I can't swear that everything is fully labeled ever, but I do think US society is growing increasingly interested in telling people all the specifics of their food so they can deal with any restrictions, which benefits all of us.
I hope that makes sense as I type with her sitting on me.
