Kroger, Safeway say no to GM salmon | Undercurrent News | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it

US retail chains Kroger and Safeway have reportedly made up their minds not to sell Aquabounty salmon, regardless of a pending decision by the US Food and Drug Administration, reported Food Safety News.

 

The decision was released by a coalition of food safety, consumer, health and fishing groups.

 

The two grocery chains are now part of more than 9,000 stores across the country that have rejected carrying Aquabounty’s genetically modified Aquadvantage salmon — regardless of whether the FDA approves it for public consumption, which it has not yet officially done.
