Food and feed imports at risk from GM pharma crop contamination

GM Freeze published an assessment of which food and feed imports into the UK are at greatest risk of GM contamination. Their report concluded that maize from the USA and South Africa and rice from the USA, and the Far East are highest risk at present but warn that even limited GM testing sites can contaminate whole supply chains for some crops. There is a growing risk of contamination of food and feed with GM pharmaceutical genes which are being engineered into food crops such as maize.
