The Food and Drug Administration announced Friday that it is lifting an import alert that stopped genetically engineered salmon from entering the US. The salmon, called"Frankenfish" by some, won FDA approval in 2015 -- the first approval of a genetically engineered animal intended for food.
In December, the USDA issued the standard, requiring manufacturers, importers and certain retailers to disclose whether a product was bioengineered using either text, a symbol, a electronic or digital link, and/or a text message.Read MoreOn Friday, FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said because of the 2016 law and the USDA's standard, his agency"no longer has the authority to issue labeling guidance.
It's amazing how ill informed the people of the usa is
Eww 😷
I don’t think that the FDA should allow that to even be shipped here what If it does something bad to all the people.
Disgusting
These fish will probably kill off the native fish.
I'm against this. Horrible.
Frankenstein fish? It’s all about the benjis $$$$ for the gov! how good can that be for human consumption? Hope they made it mandatory to notify end customers what exactly they are eating in these Frankenstein 🐟!
But lab grown meat is ok? Lol there should be just as much outrage
Why not let illegal food into the country, we need something to feed the illegals!
The FDA has allowed corn to be genetically engineered for years. Now all corn is genetically engineered. No one says a word
Holy crap, you been eating crap called fish farming. The ones who farm live on top rest you visualize
No thanks.
jimcramer have you seen $XON lately? I knows it's been a couple years since they were on MadMoneyOnCNBC but am I wrong to think it could still have monster upside?
Uuuggghhhh!
I don’t Like being sic so I won’t purchase.
When this fish is sold in stores, will we know which is “Frankenfish” and which is not? Or will we have to pick a filet and hope for the best? Lol
The United States relies on the people who suppress their vote to deem their foods safely edible! Is there any wonder why there is disease and illness everywhere making hospitals and the medical industry cash cows for politicians and the rich
NO THANK YOU
GM POLLUTES BIODIVERSITY. WITHOUT POLLUTION MNCs CAN'T SURVIVE
Lol at everyone mad at this. It is the same molecules of flesh you eat.
They already allow hummus.
I don't even buy fish caught in China
Omgosh ...
A.K.A more Cancer !
The US_FDA is the agency that single handedly approves things that cause cancer. It’s insane.
This is probably the healthiest thing the fatties (myself included) in America would eat... Dont act healthy now America
With the resources of this nation, why are we importing inferior foreign farm raised seafood?
If you take the bolt out of your neck, swallowing frankenfish should be no problem...
So is this good or bad?
All right give some of that Frankenfish it looks delicious. Lol
Oh Barf! If you want Salmon, take a trip to the Pacific Northwest, and you'll get the best Salmon in the world; fresh and real!
This is disgusting. GoVegan
Gross
Brought to you by the tabloid entertainment network CNN. Soon to be worth $250mil less.
They also allow hormones to be pumped in to chickens like Botox, so what’s your point?
Please, make sure that it is labeled ' FRANKENFISH ' So people will know what they are getting !
The hysteria around GMO on the left is as asinine and anti-science as climate change denial on the right.
Forward thinking company that Is trying to end world hunger, I hope.
Too late probably a lot of people eat it already 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
The phrase you use in the headline is the type of fear mongering that Trump would use Science
Can we talk about our domestic frankencows, frankenpigs, frankenchickens and frankenturkeys or is it too soon?
$$$
How about we get to the root of the problem and curb our appetite for seafood? We’re overfishing b/c demand is too high and that’s the thing no one’s talking about.
SeriouslyAfter GMOS now this
Of course they do.
So, is this Dotard way of killing us?
It can't be any worse than the garbage they sell at Safeway..
Do you go fishing? Maybe you should, just not in polluted water. We should all wonder how our source of foods are processed from the beginning when harvested, to the end when we consume it.
Gross.
Sure they are not Dracula fish there CNN? You clowns have to spin everything don’t ya.
So bad to your health😪😓
To go
I will take 1 McFrankenfish sandwich & a small organic fry👍😳
There’s nothing wrong with GMOs and right now they are the only good solution to world hunger
Long as it’s labeled as such, WHO CARES?! It’s a free country! If u wanna eat frankenfish, EAT IT.
This sounds fishy
Disgusting
Finally. I like salmon that tastes like chicken, with the texture of broccoli, and the color of the chocolate
Is the population controll or what? Cancer will skyrocket. This is why Russia does not want any of our food WakeUpAmerica
What’s the difference between imported Frankenfish and home-grown cloned fish? Nothing.
This is visionary thinking. This will help the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry to be profitable and robust. Invent a problem and sell the solution. Supply and demand.
not good It best be labeled to warn consumers
One day they goin mess around and create something that's goin run them out their labs.
Omg why?! I can’t eat salmon anymore smdh! I will be extra careful when I go to the fish market from now on and will ask the manager where does your fish come from. Hopefully they will be honest.The FDA sucks and don’t care about the AMERICAN people I guess they not AMERICAN!!
Good thing I don’t eat salmon lol
'GMOs?! Not for my family!' The make-up smeared liberal woman yelled as she walked her genetically engineered wolf that is now 12 inches tall and can't breath through it's nose.
are we surprised tbh
WINNING
That’s looks pretty tasty though
cnn the word “frankenfish” skews the headline. It could’ve been dropped. People can make up their own minds. C’mon. Be better than that.
Ewww
Ewwe! Wild caught only.
Great.
Vaccines are also genetically engineered, why do health authorities not disclose this
Lawyer up, buttercup!
Sabe a talapia o peces 🐠 dorados
Waiting for the first democrat to blame Trump in 3-2-1........
Way to go with the unscientific fear based headline CNN. But go ahead. See how much food is left when your idiot consumer followers put progress out of business for good.
I had some and woke up speaking German. Hope French is next.
Frankenstein - Salmon ...
OUCH.
fortunately in CA fish must be labeled as to state or country of origin
There are more Chinese spies in United States than Russians. Some even work for our elected officials.
Anything questionable should first be handed out to congressional democrats.
frankenfish frankenfish frankenfish frankenfish
Good. So what
Will The Frankenfish Salmon Be?
Ummmmmmmmm that's a no-no!!!!
