Recent findings by Robert Kremer, a U.S. government microbiologist and other agricultural scientists are raising fresh concerns about Monsanto's products and the Washington agencies that oversee them.
"This could be something quite big. We might be setting up a huge problem," said Kremer, who expressed alarm that regulators were not paying enough attention to the potential risks from biotechnology on the farm, including his own research."We don't have a robust enough regulatory system to be able to give us a definitive answer about whether these crops are safe or not. We simply aren't doing the kinds of tests we need to do to have confidence in the safety of these crops," said Doug Gurian-Sherman, a scientist who served on a FDA biotech advisory subcommittee from 2002 to 2005.(Reuters)
Keep in mind that it is not the law in North America to label goods that have been produced with GMO crops. For more info on the issue, check out this cbc article...
