Food/Feed Safety: Does food or feed from the GE animal pose any risk to humans or animals consuming edible products from GE animals compared with the appropriate non-transgenic comparators? Conclusion of food/feed safely evaluations: “We therefore conclude the food from AquAdvantage Salmon (the triploid ABT salmon) that is the subject of this application is as safe as food from conventional Atlantic salmon, and that there is a reasonably certainty of no harm from the consumption of food from this animal. No animal feed consumption concerns were identified”.

Environmental Safety: What is the likelihood that AquAdvantage Salmon will escape the conditions of confinement? Where will the AquAdvantage Salmon be raised? If approved, the AquAdvantage Salmon will be raised in inland tanks. They will not be raised in ocean net pens. Any change would require a new application and approval. There are multiple and redundant physical and mechanical barriers in place in the water systems at the PEI egg production and Panama grow-out facilities to prevent the accidental release of eggs and/or fish to nearby aquatic environments. These barriers have been designed specifically to prevent the escape of different life stages of AquAdvantage Salmon. Both facilities have a minimum of three to five mechanical barriers in place for all internal flow streams which release water to the environment. Standards and has been verified by an FDA inspection or site visit. Therefore, the likelihood is considered very low that AquAdvantage Salmon will escape from confinement at these sites.
