| Subject: GMO 'Frankenfish' salmon could be in stores as early as next year, as FDA lifts import ban Tue Mar 12, 2019 7:29 pm | |
| Genetically engineered salmon is swimming your way.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is now allowing this kind of fish, whose DNA has been altered to speed up growth, and its eggs into the U.S.
The announcement means that AquaBounty Technologies may import AquAdvantage Salmon eggs to its facility near Albany, Indiana, where the fish grow faster than traditional Atlantic salmon.
AquAdvantage Salmon could hit store shelves by 2020, said the company. It declined to discuss what the cost will be.
"We will sell our salmon at market prices, so it is too far away to know what that will be. We will not sell at a discount," AquaBounty said.
