'Frankenfish'

What could possibly go wrong? GM fish set for supermarket shelves after U.S. watchdog rules 'Frankenfish' is safe for environment | Mail Online

Genetically modified salmon could soon be found on supermarket fish counters after the U.S. food safety watchdog ruled it posed no environmental risks, it emerged today.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it could find no valid scientific reasons to ban production of Atlantic salmon engineered with extra genes from two other fish species.

If it is now given final approval, the fish will be the first GM animal to hit supermarket shelves anywhere in the world - and in the U.S. they may not even be labelled as modified.

If it has the same flavor as any other farm raised salmon there isn't anything to worry about, they'll be bankrupt within the year.
