A futher bulletin for those of you with an interest in the California agriculture industry. According to today’s Guardian, Ebro Puleva, a Spanish company that controls some 30% of the European rice market, has stopped all US rice imports. Tests have shown that nearly 20% of shipments are infected with the illegal GM rice strain, LLRICE 601. I see that this rice is not approved fit for human consumption in the US, let alone in Europe. Not that there is any evidence that it isn’t safe, it just hasn’t been tested so no one knows.
