GMO Rice Sold in Central China Markets

Interviews with seed providers and farmers also showed that the rice had been in circulation for at least two years, the group said in a statement.</p><p><a href="http://www.planetark.com/dailynewsstory.cfm/newsid/30375/story.htm">Reuters</a></p><p><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,1459009,00.html">The Guardian: Unlicensed GM rice may be in UK food chain</a></p><p><a href="http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/04/17/news/rice.html">Int.
