EU Blocks France's Ban of Monsanto's GM Maize

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday May 22, 2012 @06:19PM from the renamed-to-freedom-corn dept.

redletterdave writes with an update to news from a few months ago that France had banned the growing of Monsanto's genetically modified corn. After reviewing the evidence France submitted in support of the ban, the European Food Safety Authority has now rejected it. An official opinion (PDF) stated that they "could not identify any new science-based evidence indicating that maize MON 810 cultivation in the EU poses a significant and imminent risk to the human and animal health or the environment."
