Ännu en stor GMO-skandal avslöjad!
Ej godkänt genmodifierat ris inblandat i USA

Hur länge ska man tro att man kan bluffa oss konsumenter?
Hur kan man bara tro att det går att lugna oss?


Bayer visste om det i maj men informerade inte! USDA gick inte ut förrän 31 juli!
Riset var inte avsett för marknaden och odlades senast 2001 men dök upp just till skördesäsongen 2005. ”Det är fortfarande ovisst hur detta ris kan ha kommit in i skörden”.

Några klipp från GM Watch:
27 augusti - The Bush administration says that "there are no human health, food safety or environmental concerns associated with this rice". But the EC's Health and Consumer Protection Commissioner, Markos Kyprianou, says it must not be allowed to enter the food chain.

26 augusti - An urgent request has been sent to the Chief Executives of all the UK supermarket chains to protect the public by taking all products containing long-grain rice from the southern United States off their shelves, pending unequivocal evidence that these products are free from unauthorised GM contamination.
Moral of the story? Don't buy foodstuffs from the USA. They can't handle this technology.

30 augusti - At a press conference, US secretary of agriculture Mike Johanns indicated that an economic motive was behind the government's delay in informing the public about the contamination, as the government anticipated foreign rice importers might reject the product.
