GE Fish

Some genetically modified (GM or genetically engineered) Atlantic salmon is now being sold in Canada, without labelling. This is the world’s first-ever genetically engineered food animal. The GM salmon are now in production at an on-land plant in PEI and a plant in Indiana,US. The first Canadian-produced GM fish from PEI was sold in 2021. If GM salmon escape into the wild, they will put the future of wild Atlantic salmon populations at risk. Click here for more information.
