The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced that they are in the process of approving genetically engineered (GE), or transgenic, salmon.

Untested, Unlabeled, and You’re Eating It

If the FDA approves GE salmon, they may not require labeling of these fish.

Transgenic salmon is the first GE animal intended for food yet impacts on human health have not been sufficiently reviewed. Additionally, GE fish pose unacceptable risks to wild salmon populations and the marine environment.

Come learn what you can do about it!
