The Guardian: Unlicensed GM rice may be in UK food chain

Unlicensed GM rice sold illegally on the internet to Chinese farmers has been sold for human consumption and may have been imported undetected into the UK, even though it could cause allergic reactions.

Still, look on the bright side for the GM companies: a huge field test of the product on human specimens conducted at no expense. It’s a market researcher’s dream. If no-one slips into a coma or dies, the rice could be a big seller.
