‘Safe And Nutritious’ Genetically Modified Salmon Approved In Canada
The sale of genetically modified salmon has been approved by Canadian health authorities, making it the first genetically altered animal to be allowed for consumption in the country. As Health Canada does not believe there are any health and safety risks, there will be no special labeling requirements for the new product. However, Canadian activist groups are concerned about the decision and are calling for mandatory labeling of all genetically modified foods produced in the country.
