EU rejecting US soy imports
EU buyers have voluntarily moved to stop imports of US soy after shipments were found containing traces of GM corn.
US soymeal shipments to Spain and Germany were found with traces of GM corn, which is prohibited in the EU.
The shipments have been rejected at EU borders, and were consigned and recalled on the market within the EU, unless they have already been consumed.
About 50,000 tonnes of contaminated US soymeal had been unloaded and detained at Tarragona, Spain's largest port.
