For over a century, Alaska fishermen have prided themselves on sustainably harvesting wild
salmon from Alaska’s clear, pristine waters. We are proud of our legacy of providing
families across the nation with delicious, healthy salmon, and consumers have come to
associate high quality with Alaska wild salmon. For the FDA to lift an import ban on
“frankenfish” without requiring clear labeling to show that these products are genetically
engineered is a disservice to consumers and a blow to Alaska’s hardworking fishing
communities. We strongly support the efforts of our Congressional delegation to ensure that
GE salmon is clearly labeled; giving Americans the information they need to make informed
decisions about the seafood they purchase to feed their families.
