Many of us have been buying salmon for years. However, the changes that are being made to it may leave you completely surprised!
The Truth About What Is Happening To The Salmon You Buy Is:
The Food and Drug Administration has ruled that genetically engineered salmon are safe to eat, paving the way for the first altered animals to eventually reach supermarket shelves.
The decisionends a five-year battle waged by AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. to get approval to produce and market its salmon that has been shown to grow much faster than non-genetically modified, farm-raised Atlantic salmon.
“AquAdvantage Salmon is a game-changer that brings healthy and nutritious food to consumers in an environmentally responsible manner without damaging the ocean and other marine habitats,” Ronald L. Stotish, the chief executive officer of AquaBounty, said. “Using land-based aquaculture systems, this rich source of protein and other nutrients can be farmed close to major consumer markets in a more sustainable manner.”
In its ruling, the FDA said that AquAdvantage Salmon met the ”statutory requirements for safety and effectiveness under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act,” including that the fish is safe to eat and that the rDNA construct – the piece of DNA that makes the salmon grow faster – is safe for the fish.
It also is requiring that the salmon be raised only in land-based, contained hatchery tanks in Canada and Panama, and specifically ruled that they cannot be “bred or raised” in the United States.
A 2012 FDA assessment found that development of the salmon was unlikely to cause any environmental harm. Still, the decision probably won't end a long-running debate over whether the fish are safe to eat and what impact, if any, they might have on other species of fish.
It is unclear when the salmon would be sold in supermarkets anytime soon.
