Philippine National Food Authority clears U.S. rice shipment of GMO

Greenpeace on Thursday warned the government, specifically the National Food Authority (NFA), that the shipment of rice being offloaded at the Naval Supply Depot could be contaminated with genetically modified organisms (GMO), which is illegal in the country. Daniel Ocampo, Greenpeace campaigner for South East Asia said the current shipment should be quarantined and tested using the European Union protocol before it is distributed to the market. Ocampo told The Manila Times that the shipment on board MV Liberty Eagle is part of the food for peace program.
