L'etichetta garantiva che il riso non era Ogm - da Greenplanet
26.09.2006 Almeno quattro partite di riso proveniente dagli Stati Uniti, del genere long rice e paddy, sono risultate geneticamente modificate e quindi fuori legge. La scoperta è avvenuta in seguito all'inchiesta che ha portato al blocco di due container di riso americano a Livorno. In tutto le quattro partite risultate positive ai test ammontano ad un totale di 6.780 tonnellate arrivate da gennaio. "Le partite - ha spiegato il sottosegretario alla Salute Giampaolo Patta, sono state bloccate ma non si esclude che ci possa essere una certa quantità sul mercato". Ci sono «troppe falle nell’intero sistema di controllo delle importazioni» - ha commentato il direttore generale di Legambiente Francesco Ferrante. «È grave che la contaminazione viaggi addirittura sotto l’etichetta ogm-free, quando questa dovrebbe invece garantire la totale sicurezza del prodotto. Solo inasprendo i controlli e rafforzando le misure precauzionali l’Europa può evitare che quantità di ogm illegali varchino indisturbate i propri confini e tutelare i consumatori».

Greenpeace on muistuttanut päättäjiä siitä, että laittomasti geenimuunneltu riisi on vakava terveysriski.
