If Chilean farmed salmon is tainted, what about Canadian?

摘要

Glad you asked. The question sounded pretty good to us too, so we took it to the FDA. We didn't grandstand like the folks at PEW did, but we did a little research. Marine Harvest Canada, the biggest fish farmer in B.C., is very open about the chemicals -- including emamectin benzoate (SLICE) - that it feeds its fish. You can see Marine Harvest's open admission by going to www. pacificfishing.com. Click on "Pacific Fishing Resources" on the right side of the page. Once there, click on "Insecticide --It's What's for Dinner," and then "Marine Harvest." First, we asked Ian Roberts, who works for Marine Harvest Canada, for some elaboration. You can find his response by clicking on "Ian Talks" in "Insecticide -- It's What's for Dinner." We then sent a question concerning insecticides to Sebastian Cianci, a spokesman for the FDA.
