GMO Atlantic Salmon, Ready to Eat!

[healthinfo6]

They took the growth gene of a Chinook Salmon and the growth gene of a sea eel to make this Atlantic Salmon grow very fast and very big. They say it's sterile so can't breed if it escaped and mixed into the wild.
Of course the USA FDA says it is safe, but has not yet approved it. Consumer Union (Consumer Reports magazine) says only 6 fish were used for testing which is a joke, FDA took much of company's test data as OK. Once approved, there will be no labeling on farmed salmon that it is a Frankenfish. Only "safe" fish is wild or organic Atlantic salmon,
ABC News video of which there are 3 is very informative.

USA Whole Foods and Trader Joes will ban GMO Salmon which looks likely to be FDA approved.
WFwill have all their products' containing GMO ingredients labeled by 2018

2018 may be a little late for those destroyed before then (that is 5 years away).
And not just GMO salmon a problem - radiated fish in the Pacific from Fukushima. I no longer eat fish in the northern hemisphere

Critics of the "Monsanto Protection Act" claim it deregulates GMO crops and endangers America's food supply.
...Usually, any new GMO crops need to be approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and legal challenges can be filed to stop a seed from being planted until it undergoes a more vigorous review. But opponents of section 735, the "Monsanto Protection Act," claim the bill eliminates regulatory checks and judicial review.
"It's basically a corporate handout to Monsanto," Murphy claimed. "It hurts every farmer. … Every consumer is at risk."
In a statement to MSN News, a USDA spokesperson said, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack "has asked the Office of General Council to review this provision as it appears to preempt judicial review of a deregulatory action which may make the provision unenforceable." ...

Wf put out there time frame is 2015, not 2018 so
where is your information from?
But there is a push to criticize WF for taking so long to do this.
They already have their European distribution labeled so there
is little they need to do to accomplish the labeling. I suspect
it has to do with getting rid of all their inventory and other business
maneuvering--not the labels.

I originally heard 2015 but the SFgate article I posted earlier says 2018.
At least WF has some clout due to size to do this.
You can write WF on their website. They do reply.
