GM salmon may go on sale in US after public consultation | Environment | The Guardian: "US authorities today began the process to approve the first GM animal for human consumption.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a 60-day period of consultation and public meetings over whether to permit a GM strain of salmon to be eaten by humans, even though it has been called a 'frankenfish' by critics. The approval process could take less than a year, and if it gets the green light the fish could be on the market in 18 months."
