MON810 Bt maize: ”The variations are within a biologically explainable range.”
The Bt concentration in insect-resistant maize is not the same in every plant. Greenpeace has carried out measurements to check this and found that the Bt levels varied considerably. Greenpeace claims that the legal basis for the EU approval has not been fulfilled. Johannes Jehle of the Dienstleistungszentrum ländlicher Raum (DLR) in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse does not agree with either the results or the conclusions of the study.
