USDA unable to weed out unapproved modified foods
The U.S. food supply is at risk of being invaded by unapproved imports of genetically modified crops and livestock, a USDA internal audit report released Wednesday said. The report, released by the U.S. Agriculture Department’s Office of Inspector General, said the USDA does not have an import control policy to regulate imported GMO animals. Its policy for GMO crops, though adequate now, could become outdated as other nations boost production of their own GMO crops, the report added.
