Trays of fresh fish sit in a case at Ridgefield Prime, a gourmet butcher and seafood store. Small hand-written signs rest nearby, describing if the fish is farm-raised or organic.
None of Ridgefield Prime’s fish is genetically modified, but if it was, René Bushey, who orders the seafood for the shop, said it should be appropriately marked.
We have a lot of intelligent customers who know about it and they should have a choice on whether they’re getting a genetically-modified product or not, he said.
It’s a sentiment many have echoed after the Food and Drug Administration last week approved genetically modified salmon and won’t require special labeling for it.
