GE Salmon Are Still Swimming Towards Approval
Take Action to Ask Your Representative to Stop GE Salmon

September 27, 2010

Dear Dave & Sharon,

Next Steps to Stop the Approval of GE Salmon:

Wenonah Hauter, Food & Water Watch Executive Director, delivered coalition comments opposing GE Salmon to the FDA last week.

Ask Your Representative to Stop the Approval of Genetically Engineered Salmon

Last week, we delivered over 171,000 public comments from our coalition to the Food and Drug Administration asking them to stop the approval of genetically engineered salmon.  Unfortunately, they are still on track for approval, but members of Congress and others have heard our message! Members of the Senate and the House are sending letters to the FDA to stop the approval of GE salmon. Can you ask your representative to stop GE salmon?

The Food & Drug Administration is on track to approve genetically engineered salmon for people to eat, and their decision could come at anytime. Unfortunately for us, the process isn't focused on what happens to people who eat genetically engineered animals. If the FDA moves forward, these salmon would be the first GE animals approved for human consumption.  

Some senators and representatives.. are sending letters to the FDA asking them to stop their approval process. Can you ask your representative to help stop the approval of GE salmon?
