Salmon exposed to a deadly virus pose no risk for Canadian exports being sold to the United States, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said during a news conference Friday.

The CFIA has been criticized for its decision to allow about 240,000 salmon that had been exposed to infectious salmon anemia (ISA) to grow to market size in open-sea cages near Shelburne, N.S. The salmon were then shipped to New Brunswick for processing to be sold at market.
 

ISA infection is fatal for 90 per cent of infected fish but poses no threat to human health directly or through consumption, according to the CFIA.

Paul Mayers, acting vice-president of programs for the CFIA, said processed salmon from ISA-infected fish meet all requirements for export to the U.S. because there is no risk to humans or wild salmon.

He said the exposed fish are only processed at facilities with a special ISA-processing licence.
