"The Agency for US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stopped imports of fresh and frozen salmon produced in Chile by the Norwegian multinational firm Marine Harvest.
The FDA took this action following the discovery, on 5 June, of traces of crystal violet, a chemical carcinogen compound in a batch of salmon from that company.
The crystal violet is an antifungal product that is prohibited in Chile and the US due to its carcinogenic effects."
Marine Harvest..... the same company that operates feedlots off the coast of BC.
