http://www.reutershealth.com/en/index.html HONG KONG (Reuters) - Environmental activist Greenpeace said on Tuesday illegal Chinese GMO rice had been found in baby food made in China by U.S. food giant Heinz Co.
In statements released in Beijing and Hong Kong, Greenpeace urged Heinz to recall the baby cereal containing insect-resistant genetically modified rice, which is still under field study in China for its food and environmental safety.
"We were completely shocked," said Steven Ma from Greenpeace in China. "Babies should be the last if we ever wanted to test unapproved GMO crops on human."
No official at Heinz in China or Hong Kong was immediately available to comment.
