GMOs Contaminate Europe's Flax

GMO Contamination Is a Reality

   In September, 2009, reports of European flax contamination point to Canada.
   Seventy percent of the flax grown in Canada is exported. In 1998, Canadian regulators approved Triffid, a GM flax. Flax growers, fearing contamination of their crops, were able to have Triffid removed from approval in 2001. Though it has been illegal to grow Triffid for the last eight years, a German company has found Triffid contamination in European cereals and baked goods.
   The European Commission's Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed confirmed the contamination of Canadian flax exports, and, according to a press release from the National Farmer’s Union, this discovery has devastated Canadian flax exports.
   Contamination from GM crops is not a new phenomenon. Greenpeace maintains a contamination register. A quick review of this site tells us Pandora’s Box is open and spewing forth unimaginable, potentially irreversible damage to our global food supply.
