Genetically modified products flood Indian foodchains, buyers unaware
If you think the debate over genetically modified crops has ended with Union minister Jairam Ramesh settling for a two-year moratorium on the commercial release of Bt-Brinjal, Dr Pushpa Bhargava has some shocking facts for you. According to Bhargava, who's considered as the father of genetic engineering in India, the battle is far from over since GM products, mostly from the US, are flooding markets of big cities like Kolkata through big food chains. Bhargava, who spoke on the agrarian crisis and GM crops at an event organized by the Forum Against Monopolistic Aggression on Thursday, pointed out that 70% of imported food products are genetically modified in the USA. But unfortunately, there is not a single laboratory in India to test GM food products.
