Unapproved Monsanto GMO Wheat Caught Tainting an Oregon FieldWhile GMO wheat is not currently on the U.S. market, that does not mean it isnt being grown here. Even though Monsantos genetically modified (GM) wheat is not, and has never been, approved for sale on the U.S. consumer market, just last month a farmer in Oregon found it randomly growing in his field. Testing on Monsantos GM wheat stopped in 2005, but as far back as 1999, GM wheat was showing up in places it shouldnt, such as Thailand where farmers complained that shipments of wheat tainted with a transgenic variety had arrived from the Pacific Northwest. Monsantos representative for wheat research partner relationships admitted the company was growing 50 acres of transgenic wheat at test sites across the U.S. and 30 to 40 acres in Canada back in 2003. Monsanto officially stopped growing the wheat after ten of the biggest wheat importers rejected it. Monsantos official response to this most recent incident claims, This is the first report of the Roundup Ready trait being found out of place since Monsantos commercial development program was discontinued nine years ago. Monsanto also stressed, the glyphosate-tolerance gene used in Roundup Ready wheat has a long history of safe use. So dont worry; Monsanto says its GMO wheat, which has never been approved for sale in the U.S. and which shouldnt even be growing anywhere in the country even though it is growing here, is totally safe.
