No to FrankenSalmon!
There is one last?step before Canada becomes a live laboratory for the first GMO animal grown for human consumption. Canada let AquaBounty clear a crucial hurdle when it allowed the American company to produce genetically-
modified salmon eggs on a commercial scale. Now, there is only one step left before mutant fish hits our dinner plates — approval from Health Canada to allow GMO salmon for Canadian consumption. You can bet that AquaBounty will now use all its resources to push for the sale of an organism that US agencies have refused to approve for Americans to consume for the last 18 years. If Health Canada approves GMO salmon, a new breed of farmed fish will soon be at your local grocer or seafood restaurant without you even recognizing it.?Let?s tell Health Canada to reject mutant fish for human consumption in our country.
