Consumers may soon have a new "Frankenfood" to contend with as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will soon decide whether or not to approve genetically-modified (GM) salmon as food. If approved, the GM salmon -- known as AquAdvantage -- will be the first GM animal officially authorized for human consumption in the US. History tells us that if this happens, Canada won't be far behind buying into the so-called safety of another GM food.
The FDA is set to review and discuss the issue the weekend of September 19, 2010. For three days, the agency will review data and listen to input from outsiders about the issue.
Members of the public can actually register to attend the meeting and share their thoughts in person. To sign up, please visit the following link:
