Call for GE field trials in New Zealand to be closed after safety breach

An organic food group is calling for closure of genetically engineered field trials, after finding two safety breaches at a trial site in Canterbury just before Christmas. The Soil and Health Association said a GE brassica plant at a Plant and Food Research site in Lincoln was left in the soil and allowed to flower, potentially putting conventional brassica crops at risk of cross pollination.
