Stop Genetically Engineered Salmon from Reaching Your Plate!

Stop Genetically Engineered Salmon from Reaching Your Plate!

The Issue

Genetically engineered salmon are on a fast track to being the first GE Animal approved for human consumption. The FDA is trying to approve GE salmon as a new animal drug, but the truth is U.S. Food agencies don't have a way to fully evaluate the impacts of GE salmon on human health or the environment. Worst of all, if these GE salmon are introduced into our food system, they won't be labeled, so consumers won't know what they're buying.

Can you take action to keep genetically engineered salmon out of the U.S.?
