The billionaire behind the world’s first genetically modified salmon

Intrexon, a $2.2bn company headed by Randal Kirk, quietly began selling transgenic salmon, after making apples that don't brown and cloning pets

If you want to sample the world's first animal to be genetically engineered in the name of dinner, good luck finding it. If, on the other hand, you would never eat such a thing - good luck avoiding it.

Tons of lab-developed salmon was sold in Canada last year without any packaging labeling it as a product of science, and the company that created and raises the fish, AquaBounty, won't release the names of food distributors it sells to.
