Comments to USDA on proposed changes to biotechnology regulations
Comments from UCS and the Consumer Federation of America on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s (APHIS’s) draft programmatic environmental impact statement (EIS) on contmplated revisions of its biotechnology regulations. UCS is calling on USDA to adopt a ban on the outdoor production of drugs and chemicals in genetically engineered food crops, among other recommendations.
Current Uses of Biotechnology in Agriculture
Biotechnology companies produce genetically engineered crops to control insects and weeds and to manufacture pharmaceuticals and other chemicals. The Union of Concerned Scientists works to strengthen the federal oversight needed to prevent such products from contaminating our food supply.
FAQs: Seed Contamination
