Japan has suspended imports of some US wheat after genetically
engineered crops were found on an Oregon farm, a government official
said Friday.
Tokyo’s move came as the European Union told its member states to
test imports from the area, saying any genetically modified wheat would
not be sold to consumers.
Japan’s farm ministry on Thursday cancelled a bid for 25,000 tonnes
of Western White, a soft white wheat produced in the Pacific northwest, a
ministry official said, in the wake of the discovery of the modified
wheat.
