SW: →Data and Interpretation: add reference
The FDA interprets this data as follows: "Although confidence in the data describing the diploid GE-salmon are low, these data indicated that four diploid GE fish had mean allergenic potency greater than 3.00 U/ml, with one fish having a mean allergenic potency value of 4.23 U/ml. Only one triploid GE salmon had a mean allergenic potency value greater than 3.00 U/ml."
However, Michael Hansen points out that every single one of the GE diploid salmon and all but 2 of the GE triploid salmon showed mean allergenic potencies higher than the highest value for non-GE diploid salmon. <ref>Jill Richardson, Phone interview with Michael Hansen, September 7, 2010.</ref> Coupling this point along with the small sample size of the study, Hansen feels there is good cause to perform another, more comprehensive study.
