According to Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of Center for Food Safety, \u201cThis study highlights yet another ecological risk of these hazardous genetically engineered fish. The FDA\u2019s [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] attempt to approve these gene altered fish without even analyzing these irreversible impacts on our native salmon and trout populations is unlawful and a gross abuse of their regulatory duties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In order to create the transgenic fish, Aquabounty genetically engineered an Atlantic salmon by inserting a Chinook salmon growth-hormone gene, as well as a gene sequence from an ocean pout. The company claims this engineering causes the GE salmon to undergo an increase in growth rate that allows the fish to reach market size in half the normal time. Consumer groups Center for Food Safety, Food &amp; Water Watch and Consumers Union submitted a \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=6861\">formal petition<\/a> to the agency in February 2012 to classify and evaluate the GE salmon as a food additive.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=8963\">December<\/a> of last year, FDA announced its release of a \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fda.gov\/downloads\/AnimalVeterinary\/DevelopmentApprovalProcess\/GeneticEngineering\/GeneticallyEngineeredAnimals\/UCM333102.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Draft Environmental Assessment<\/a> \u00a0(EA) and \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fda.gov\/downloads\/AnimalVeterinary\/DevelopmentApprovalProcess\/GeneticEngineering\/GeneticallyEngineeredAnimals\/UCM333105.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Preliminary Finding of No Significant Impact<\/a> \u00a0on GE salmon. This action was widely viewed as confirmation that FDA was prepared to quickly approve GE salmon. FDA then accepted public comments on the draft EA and Finding of No Significant Impact, and received nearly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centerforfoodsafety.org\/press-releases\/2151\/nearly-2-million-people-tell-fda-not-to-approve-ge-salmon\">2 million<\/a> public comments opposing its plan to approve GE salmon. One of the obvious problems with the draft environmental assessment was that it limited the assessment to only reviewing the environmental impacts of the Canadian and Panamanian facilities proposed in the application. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centerforfoodsafety.org\/press-releases\/2121\/nearly-15-million-objections-to-genetically-engineered-salmon-filed-with-fda\">Documents<\/a> discovered through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request indicated that U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has already received a request to import AquaAdvantage Salmon eggs into the U.S. for commercial production.<\/p>\n<p>AquaBounty claims that the company\u2019s process for raising GE fish is safer than traditional aquaculture, yet documents released by the Canadian government show that a new strain of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livingoceans.org\/media\/releases\/salmon-farming\/isa-virus-confirmed-aquabounty%E2%80%99s-genetically-engin\">infectious salmon anemia<\/a>, a deadly fish flu that has been devastating fish stocks around the world, contaminated their Canadian production site. This information was not included in the FDA\u2019s review.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=10034\">Several food retailers<\/a> have already promised they will not stock GE salmon if it is approved for sale by the FDA. Whole Foods Market Inc, Trader Joe\u2019s, Aldi, and other food retailers representing more than 2,000 U.S. stores have committed not to sell GE salmon. \u201cOur current definition of sustainable seafood specifies the exclusion of genetically modified [GE] organisms,\u201d said a spokeswoman for Aldi.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the environmental hazards associated with GE technology, and national and local efforts to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/?p=10439\"> label GE food<\/a>, visit Beyond Pesticides\u2019 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/gmos\/index.php\">Genetic Engineering webpage<\/a>.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10693"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10693\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10699,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10693\/revisions\/10699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
