Help send 30,000 messages to supermarkets: Say NO to GMO salmon!

GMO salmon has no place on our plates or in our food system. A growing body of science suggests that it may pose serious environmental and public health risks, including potentially irreversible damage to wild salmon populations. What’s more, poll after poll shows that consumers don’t want to eat it.

We need your help to remind supermarkets to keep their commitments to keep GMO salmon off their shelves.

To whom it may concern,

As you may be aware, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration just lifted the import ban on genetically engineered salmon, which means that it could enter the U.S. market and be the first genetically engineered animal to land on our plates.

Polls show the overwhelming majority of consumers don’t want to eat genetically engineered salmon. A growing body of science suggests that GMO salmon may pose serious environmental and public health risks, including potentially irreversible damage to wild salmon populations.

This is the first GMO animal to enter our food system, and it was approved by the FDA under a flawed process that was meant to assess the safety of “animal drugs,” not brand-new GMO animals meant for human consumption.

Additionally, the USDA approved incredibly weak standards for GMO labeling that would allow companies to label GMOs using terms like “bioengineered” and QR codes. That means most GMO salmon likely won’t carry clear on-package labels stating they are GMO, making it difficult for consumers like me to avoid purchasing them.

Fortunately, your company, in addition to more than 80 grocery retailers across the U.S., has made a commitment to not sell genetically engineered salmon and other seafood.

Now that GMO salmon are being allowed on the U.S. market, your company’s commitment is more important than ever! I thank your company for standing strong in its commitment to not sell GMO salmon or other seafood.

Sincerely,
