NZZ Online: US authorities fine Syngenta over Bt10
Agrochemicals firm Syngenta is to pay a fine of $375,000 (SFr449,475) for contaminating seeds with an unapproved variety of genetically-modified corn.
The European Food Safety Authority has said the Bt10 corn contains an antibiotic-resistant gene that it believes should not be present in crops grown commercially.
Syngenta made $3.7 billion in profits before tax last year.
