GM salmon may go on sale in US in 18 months after public consultation
US authorities today began the process to approve the first GM animal for human consumption. The Food and Drug Administration announced a 60-day period of consultation and public meetings over whether to permit a GM strain of salmon to be eaten by humans, even though it has been called a "frankenfish" by critics. The approval process could take less than a year, and if it gets the green light the fish could be on the market in 18 months.
