It was in the news today that the country of Japan is suspending imports of wheat from the US because it has been found to contaminated with a variety of GM wheat which has not been approved for human consumption.
The details are very sketchy. The news reports that I’ve seen only state that the wheat is from Oregon. But how was it found? Where was it tested? What was it mixed with? Is the supply in the US also contaminated (its hard to imagine it not being so)?
Does the USDA website have any information to the American public on this issue? Hell fucking no.
Is there any more news about this in American media? Hell fucking no.
Is there any information about how or why this happened, how extensive the contamination is, or what measures are being done to prevent the unapproved variety of genetially modified wheat from being consumed by the public? Hell fucking no.
