In 2010, Lapidus took part in a Food and Drug Administration advisory committee on genetic engineering of salmon. Lapidus characterized the safety studies that had been done on the fish as "preliminary" and advocated re-prioritizing such studies to focus on proving equivalence to natural fish rather than on finding differences from them.{{r|salmon}}
