South Korea has suspended the sale of wheat and flour from Canada after the North American nation announced last week the discovery in mid-2017 of an unapproved genetically modified trait in Alberta province. We will only allow sale of wheat products that are confirmed not to contain unapproved genetically modified wheat. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said on June 14 the grain containing a genetically modified trait, developed by Monsanto Co to tolerate its Roundup weed-killer, was found after it survived herbicide spraying. Following the announcement of the GMO wheat discovery, Japan’s farm ministry last week suspended its tenders and sales of wheat from Canada.
