Genetically engineered salmon are now being considered for mass production by the FDA, and a lack of label regulation means shoppers will not see a distinction in grocery stores. Luckily, large grocers such as Whole Foods and Trader Joe's have banded together to refuse purchase of AquaBounty's controversial salmon altogether, regardless of the FDA's pending decision.

Tell Steven Burd, Safeway's CEO, to stand in favor of the people's right to know what they're purchasing.

The campaign for Genetically Engineered-Free Seafood has banded together with a variety of non-profits and grocery stores to take the reigns from the FDA. This pledge means that the FDA won't get the last word on the sale of modified salmon.

Barely more than a third of the public believe that GMO's are safe to eat, according to recent polls. The movement requires big names like Safeway to make a ripple. Help stop the FDA from exploiting the market's future.
