WHOAH, CORN DOGGY

A vegetarian-foods subsidiary of Kellogg's announced a recall in the

U.S. on Tuesday of all its meatless corn dogs after tests confirmed

that some of them contained a genetically engineered corn variety not

approved for human consumption. Greenpeace first spotted that the

corn variety, StarLink, was showing up in the dogs, and went public

with the problem last week. StarLink prompted other recalls last

year when it was found in Taco Bell shells sold in supermarkets and

other food products.
