Biotech crops are already regulated by the Agriculture Department and the Environmental Protection Agency. " The current system is working, " Crawford told the House Agriculture Committee's subcommittee on research. " Since there is no public health reason to impose mandatory requirements, FDA is not making this rule a priority. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
