Update on Genetically Modified Alfalfa
March 30, 2007 |
Following the preliminary injunction order by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Roundup Ready (RR) alfalfa remains a regulated article until the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) issues a new determination consistent with court requirements. The court did not overturn federal conclusions regarding the safety of the crop for food and feed purposes, but rather concluded that APHIS had not adequately documented potential environmental impacts. A future decision regarding the deregulation of RR alfalfa will be issued only after the completion of an appropriately documented environmental analysis.
