    From SeafoodSource August 20 news, headquartered in Philadelphia, Samuels and Son Seafood company plans to begin selling this month the world's first transgenic salmon products
    .
    The company is the first company to publicly announce the sale of salmon products using AquaBounty Technologies' genetically modified brand "AquAdvantage".
    For this, Samuels and Son Seafood is very proud
    .
     
    AquaBounty Technologies is a biotechnology company dedicated to increasing commercial aquatic production.
    Joe Lasprogata, president of Samuels and Son Seafood, said that like other products, the success of this food depends on customer preferences
    .
     
    AquaBounty Technologies’ genetically modified salmon has been opposed by environmental groups, NGOs, and some politicians, but Joe Lasprogata said that the feedback his company received was relatively calm
    .
     
    The FDA first approved the sale of salmon products under the "AquAdvantage" brand in 2015, and this approval immediately triggered lawsuits from multiple agencies
    .
    Federal judges have repeatedly criticized the FDA's handling of product evaluations
    .
    AquaBounty said that the legal boycott of the product is based on environmental issues and has nothing to do with food safety issues
    .
     
    In response to these disputes, potential legislation, lawsuits, and customer concerns, Joe Lasprogata expressed his desire to see people keep an open mind
