Consumers Union has serious concerns about the safety of the first genetically engineered fish, a salmon engineered to grow to maturity twice as fast as wild salmon," said Michael Hansen, PhD, senior scientist with Consumers Union. "FDA decided based on data from just six fish that there was no increased risk to people with fish allergies. However, even these meager data suggest that these fish show increased allergic potential.
Per the results of a 2010 poll, 91% of American consumers oppose the sale of GE seafood. And yet the FDA has previously stated it will likely not label genetically engineered salmon, meaning these consumers who don't want to buy GE will have no idea whether or not the fish they buy is genetically engineered.
