China’s quality watchdog has rejected 60,000 tons of corn from the United States for containing unapproved genetically modified content.
Authorities in the southern port city of Shenzhen found MIR162, a type of insect-resistant corn, in the batch, said Chen Xitong, spokesman for the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.
MIR162 is not authorized by China’s agricultural department, and the Shenzhen bureau returned the batch according to China’s regulations for genetically modified agricultural products.
