The US is exporting a variety of genetically engineered corn that has not been approved for human consumption in the US. StarLink was grown in 1998 on about 10,000 acres in the US, some 250,000 acres in 1999, and more than 350,000 acres in 2000. Who will pay for the costs to farmers, country elevators, distributors, food processors, retailers, exporters, and overseas entities in the corn-products food chain, to rid the global food supply of this potential allergen? What can importing countries do?
