They've been doing this to fish for a long time[1], I guess it just got approved for beef and chicken? [1] https://green.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05/03/when-fres

  OP is from 2016; apparently it's been used for beef and chicken with FDA approval since it was brought into widespread use.

  a bit of a tangent, but i've always wondered why "wild-caught" is such a marketing thing. to me, if it's wild-caught, chances are high that it was not done sustainably, which is opposite of how farmed variants are procured.

    >if it's wild-caught, chances are high that it was not done sustainably, which is opposite of how farmed variants are procured. AFAIK farmed variants aren't exactly sustainable either. They require enormous amount of smaller fish to feed the bigger fish they're farming, and those smaller fish are still wild caught. In addition, fish farms pollute the areas around them, in the form of disease/parasites or waste. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaculture_of_salmonids#Issues https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaculture_of_salmonids#Issue...
