This report by the Center for Food Safety assesses the potential adverse consequences and regulatory status of Ventria Bioscience’s pharmaceutical GE rice containing human genes. […] Friends of the Earth Africa believes that the continent does not need GM solutions to diarrhea as there are proven and inexpensive solutions to the problem. […] The report documents the crisis the rice industry undergoes following a series of contamination incidences in 2006. […] This review by the Austrian government, examines recent scientific evidence concerning potential environmental and health risks of two GM maize lines – MON810 and T25. Austria has invoked national safeguard measures for these GMOs. […] Friends of the Earth Africa announced that LLRICE601 has been found in rice supply in the West African countries of Ghana and Sierra Leone. […] The report shows that GE rice and the risks that it brings are simply unnecessary as there are existing rice production methods that are sustainable. […] The USDA is poised to approve LLRICE601 but the authors questioned the role of USDA as regulator of transgenic contamination, given that it has also been involved in the development and field tests of similar GM rice. […] Included are links to news reports and announcements related to the contamination of rice by LLRICE601 since the case was officially announced in August 2006. […] The disclosure last month that American long-grain rice has become widely contaminated with traces of an experimental, gene-altered rice has provoked an economic crisis for farmers and reignited a long-smoldering debate over the adequacy of U.S. oversight […] |
