FDA Rubber-stamps Approval of Lab-grown Salmon
The New American ^ | June 12, 2025 | Veronika Kyrylenko

Posted on 06/12/2025 1:51:47 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared its first-ever lab-grown fish for sale in the United States — based entirely on data submitted by the manufacturer. Wildtype, a California-based food tech company, is now approved to serve its cell-cultivated coho salmon.

This FDA approval makes Wildtype the fourth company cleared to market lab-grown animal products in the country. The salmon is now available on the menu at Kann, a high-profile Haitian restaurant in Portland. The company plans to roll out its “salmon” in four additional restaurants in the coming months, followed by a broader launch into the food-service sector.

What FDA Said

In its review, the FDA stated that it had “no questions” regarding the safety of Wildtype’s salmon. This bureaucratic phrasing marks the final step in the agency’s voluntary pre-market consultation process. The agency wrote:

Based on the data and information presented in [Wildtype’s pre-market safety submission to the FDA], we have no questions at this time about Wildtype’s conclusion that foods comprising or containing cultured coho salmon cell material resulting from the production process defined in [the submission] are as safe as comparable foods produced by other methods. Furthermore, at this time we have not identified any information indicating that the production process as described in [the submission] would be expected to result in food that bears or contains any substance or microorganism that would adulterate the food.

Oooh, I hope it comes with a delicious mRNA-based sauce!!

Hey Laz, let’s take the robot wives out for dinner. I’ll pick up some 20w-40w for them. You and I can have the salmon.

This is going to make it difficult to determine if Kann’s patrons are dropping dead from the vax or the fake (mRNA-based I’m sure) salmon.

FDA should’ve been abolished long ago. It’s a vestige of the rotten progressive era.

WC Fields might approve of fish from a sanitary laboratory as opposed to that nasty-o water.
