Topic “GE salmon” — Exporter Magazine

The first genetically modified animal aimed at consumers’ dinner plates faces an uncertain future following a federal advisory panel on Monday that gave a mixed assessment on whether such food – a salmon – is safe to eat, according to Emirates24/7.com. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has said that genetically engineered (GE) salmon is safe for human consumption in documents released ahead of a public meeting on the issue due later this month, according to FoodNavigator.com. If the Veterinary Medicine Advisory Committee (VMAC) decides that the genetically engineered salmon is fit for human consumption, it would be the first animal produced through genetic engineering to be approved in the US.
