Study shows GE contamination in Uruguay’s corn
The authors of the study maintained that the results demonstrate the failure of the government’s policy in promoting so-called ”regulated co-existence” between GM crops and their non-GM counterparts. According to this policy, a distance of 250 meters between GM and non-GM crops is sufficient to avoid GM pollen fertilization of non-GM crops. The study documents various cases of GM contamination in crops that were planted at a distance further than the government suggested 250 meters.
