Abstract

This article focus on the authorization for AquAdvantage salmon a key event in the process of making decisions about animal products genetically modified to be allowed to be marketed for human consumption purposes. This approval opens the door to new authorizations and it undoubtedly changes completely the relations between law and science, at least as far as biotechnology is concerned. However, to achieve public acceptance is necessary to show that, both health and environmental agency responsible for the evaluation of risks has made a detailed and comprehensive work, with sufficient transparency, which does not seem to be the case. A move that could limit the effect of this rejection of society to these products would be the establishment of a mandatory labeling on genetically modified salmon, similar to that prevailing in the EU for transgenic plants.
