USDA: Rice supply
contaminated
with unapproved variety
Johanns said the company that made the
experimental rice, Bayer CropScience of
Monheim, Germany, had provided information
to the Agriculture Department and the Food
and Drug Administration indicating that
the rice poses no threats to human health
or the environment.
The variety, known as LLRICE 601, is endowed
with bacterial DNA that makes rice plants
resistant to a weed killer made by the
agricultural giant Aventis.
