The FDA released its assessment of AquaBounty's safety testing of AquAdvantage salmon in a 180 page document in September 2010.<ref>[http://www.fda.gov/downloads/AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/VeterinaryMedicineAdvisoryCommittee/UCM224762.pdf Briefing Packet for AquAdvantage Salmon Veterinary Medicine Advisory Committee (PDF - 2506KB)], U.S. FDA.</ref> The science used to justify the GE salmon's safety was called "sloppy" and "misleading" by critics (and even noted as such by the FDA in several cases in its assessment).<ref>[http://www.consumersunion.org/pdf/CU-comments-GE-salmon-0910.pdf Consumers Union’s Senior Scientist to Appear at Veterinary Medicine Advisory Committee Meeting on Genetically Engineered Salmon, September 19-20: Data Suggests Increased Allergy Risk; FDA Needs Much More Data Before Approval], Consumers' Union, September 17, 2010.</ref> For more information, see the article on [[Flawed Concerns About Science Justifying the Safety of AquAdvantage Salmon]].
