SECTION 1. Short title.

This Act may be cited as the “Genetically Engineered Salmon Labeling Act”.

SEC. 2. Purposes.

It is the purpose of this Act to—

(B) the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of genetically engineered salmon for human consumption.

SEC. 3. Market name for genetically engineered salmon.

(a) In General.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for purposes of applying the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.), the acceptable market name of any salmon that is genetically engineered shall include the words “Genetically Engineered” or “GE” prior to the existing acceptable market name.

(b) Definition.—For purposes of this section, salmon is genetically engineered if it has been modified by recombinant DNA (rDNA) techniques, including the entire lineage of salmon that contain the rDNA modification.

SEC. 4. Third-party review of certain salmon approval.

The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall ensure that an independent scientific organization conducts a review of the environmental assessment that was carried out by the Food and Drug Administration in support of an approval of a new animal drug application related to AquAdvantage Salmon, dated November 12, 2015.
