An official from China's quarantine bureau in the northeastern port of Dalian confirmed it was tightening supervision of imported grains, especially soybeans, to control imports of genetically modified (GM) foods, mainly soybeans."

"Study Shows No Impact of GM Rice on Subjects" - "A team of scientists recently fed rice genetically modified with soybean glycinin to rats for four weeks. The rats were divided into three groups, each being fed on (I) only a commercial diet, (II) this diet plus control rice and (III) this diet plus rice genetically modified with glycinin. The rats were fed with 10 g/kg-weight of rice every day by oral administration. During the test period, the rats in every group grew well without marked differences in appearance, food intake, body weight, or cumulative body weight gain, the research report stated... Involved in the study were K. Momma, W. Hashimoto, H.J. Yoon, S. Ozawa, Y. Fukuda, S. Kawai, F. Takaiwa and S. Utsumi. " (AgWeb.com)

"Iowa StarLink costs $9.2 million" - "Aventis CropScience, developer of StarLink corn, has paid $9.2 million to Iowa farmers and elevators in premiums and compensation for losses tied to growing and handling the genetically modified grain that contaminated the grain supply. Payments to Iowa farmers and elevators from Aventis could top $10 million, said Steve Moline, an assistant Iowa attorney general monitoring the payments."
