Chilean salmon regulation

This article from the New York Times follows up on their quite controversial report on Salmon farms in Chile from a few months ago. As a result of their initial report, major supermarket chains in the US, such as Safeway, stopped carrying Chilean salmon. This of course infuriated most Chileans and have made them hate the New York Times.

However, in a positive light, it seems that the government is doing something about regulating these salmon farms and the amount of antibiotics they can push into these over-fished farms. Not surprisingly, there is little regulation on the matter in Chile, and of course the Chilean regulations are not up to par with those in the United States. I don't know if this is Chile's problem, or the US'. How many years have they been importing Chilean salmon? And only now, after the New York Times investigates, does anyone realize that these salmon are not up to regulations? I say this is a problem of the FDA and the United States and Chile has taken a hit for this.

On the other hand, this has made me reconsider buying salmon in the super market. It has almost made me question exactly what I am eating down here? The regulations on food are definitely more relaxed here, and for that exact reason I don´t buy Paraguayan meat. ( What is that anyways?). But I love the cheap, delicious, fresh salmon here so I guess I will keep on eating it, with or without regulations, and if I die, at least I will die happy with a fully belly.
