EU Rejects Chinese Rice Flour Over GMOs

The European Union (EU) recently rejected a shipment of rice flour from China because it contained genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

The Netherlands found two specific GMOs, called 35S promoter and T-Nos, in the rice flour.

This is not the first time the EU has rejected Chinese rice products due to GMOs.

A study by Chinese scholars found that the EU has been rejecting Chinese rice-based products since 2006, which has hurt China's rice exports to the EU.

Meanwhile, China has been rejecting Indian rice shipments, claiming they contain GMOs, even though India does not grow GM rice.

This has led to concerns about a trade war between China and India.
