N. Korea launches 32nd wave of trash balloons, anti-S. Korea leaflets
South Korea’s food watchdog said Wednesday that it has found no unapproved genetically modified wheat and flour in shipments from the U.S. state of Oregon.
The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety made the announcement after inspecting a 1-kilogram sample from each shipment of U.S. wheat and flour being stored by South Korean importers and milling companies.
The move comes days after the U.S. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service confirmed unapproved genetically modified wheat had been found in an Oregon field.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has said there was no evidence that genetically engineered wheat entered the U.S. market.
The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety said it has received technical details from the U.S. government on how to test genetically modified substances. (Yonhap News)
