Report identifies possible holes in government transgenic crop oversight (Friday, April 25, 2003 -- CropChoice news) -- The report, "Post-Market Oversight of Biotech Foods: Is the System Prepared?", finds that post-market oversight of transgenic food products is neglected by the federal govenrment.

The StarLink corn episode and the ProdiGene's pharm corn contamination illustrate the importance of post-market oversight. To see the report, go to: http://pewagbiotech.org/research/postmarket.
