The short explanation of this alert was:
A new Union of Concerned Scientists report, Gone to Seed, shows that traditional crop seeds are contaminated with DNA from genetically engineered (GE) crops. Laboratory testing of traditional (non-GE) corn, soybeans, and canola reveals the presence of DNA from commercial GE crops. These findings suggest that current federal standards are inadequate to protect our seed supply from engineered contaminants, including DNA from crops engineered to produce pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals. Urge the U.S. Department of Agriculture to amend federal regulations to explicitly protect the seed supply from contamination by engineered pharmaceutical and industrial crops.
