Protesters urge Costco not to sell genetically modified salmon
A dozen protesters met with a Costco executive Thursday to deliver a petition, urging the wholesale company not to sell geneticallymodified fish.
The protesters told KIRO 7 they are particularly concerned about fish produced by a company called Aqua Bounty, who crosses the DNA of three different types of fish to create salmon that grows twice as fast.
The fish is currently not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but several grocers have already pledged not to sell the fish if it ever gets approved. The protesters said those grocers include Target, Trader Joe’s, QFC, and Safeway.
