WORLDWIDE SALMON FARMING IS LARGELY NORWEGIAN
98% of salmon farms in British Columbia, Canada are Norwegian. Norway farms salmon in Norway, Chile, Canada, Scotland, and the Faroe Islands.
Norway has lobbied the European Union to allow more cadium, GMO ingredients, Endosulphan and pig and chicken by-products in their farmed salmon feed. Today, the European Union allows far more toxins in farmed salmon than any other proteins widely eaten. How can such high levels of toxins be safe in farmed salmon when far less is approved for beef, chicken, eggs, cheese and pork? Has the industry lobbied itself into a biohazard? Many people believe that choosing farmed salmon is good for their health, their children and good for protecting wild salmon, but the overwhelming evidence suggests this is not the case.
