Bayer in GM busness: USDA verifies 10-minute test for GM rice

[Guest guest]

The rice that has the genetically engineered the Liberty Link 601 protein that usda says isn't harmful (BUT IS!) can be tested for. http://news./s/nm/20060901/sc_nm/food_usda_rice_dc USDA verifies 10-minute test for GM rice Fri Sep 1, 7:02 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Agriculture Department said on Friday it verified a strip kit that can detect the unapproved genetically modified Liberty Link rice trait in 10 minutes. U.S. rice exports were imperiled with discovery of trace amounts of the Liberty Link trait in long grain rice stored in Arkansas and Missouri. Liberty Link was developed by Bayer CropScience, a unit of Bayer AG. The European Union requires tests for the rice, also called LLRice 601. In a statement, USDA said its Grain Inspection Packers and Stockyards Administration "has verified a strip kit that detects the presence of the Liberty Link 601 protein at a detection limit of 2% sensitivity level. The test takes approximately 10 minutes to complete." The test was evaluated under GIPSA's Rapid Test Performance Evaluation Program at the request of Strategic Diagnostics Inc. «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»Paranormal_Research - Scientific Data & Health Conspiracies Paranormal_ResearchSubscribe:...
