Norwegian Authorities Approve GMO Canola Oil for Farmed Salmon: What You Need to Know
Norwegian authorities have approved the use of genetically modified (GMO) canola oil in farmed salmon feed, despite concerns over its potential impact on human health and the environment. The GMO canola oil, engineered to mimic marine-derived omega-3 fatty acids, aims to reduce reliance on fish oil supplements and alleviate pressure on depleted wild fish stocks. However, studies have raised red flags regarding the environmental impact of GMO canola oil, particularly its correlation with adverse effects on pollinators like butterflies, posing questions about the potential risks posed to human consumers of GMO-fed salmon.
