Seed firm agrees to buy all StarLink corn crop
Under government pressure Aventis CropScience will purchase the 2000 StarLink biotech corn harvest to exclude it from the food supply. The USDA and EPA say there is no known health risk but it is not approved for human consumption due to potential allergen concerns.
