Greenpeace found genetically modified corn illegally entering the European Union during tests this month on a U.S. shipment in the Dutch port of Rotterdam, the environmental campaign group said Monday.

Greenpeace urged the EU executive to act immediately to confiscate the cargo and temporarily suspend all imports of U.S. agricultural produce that could contain unauthorized genetically modified content.

European Commission spokesman Michael Mann said the EU had no intention of imposing a blanket ban on such U.S. agricultural imports, and that it was up to Dutch authorities to take action by logging any illegal corn.

3. lesser of two evils

I would be inclined to accept gm produce with a track record over unregulated chinese industrial waste disguised as protein supplements. Hell, maybe each is as bad as the other.
