GM salmon Genetically modified (GM) salmon have moved one step closer to US grocery stores. On 26 april, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) closed a public consultation on its finding that the engineered fish pose no significant environmental concern.

Following FDA approval, Aquabounty hopes to sell its salmon eggs to farmers and expand to markets in Argentina, Canada, Chile and China.

All fish is naturally trans-fat free and contains healthy omega-3 fatty acids. The Big Catch's haddock in particular has saturated little fat.
So the meal's high amounts of trans fats saturated fat and sodium come from its battering and side dishes.
