Genetically modified seeds used for alfalfa crop renews I-522 debate | KING5.com Seattle

Genetically modified seeds used for alfalfa crop renews I-522 debate | KING5.com Seattle:


The Washington State Department of Agriculture has confirmed genetically modified seeds were used to grow a recent crop of alfalfa.

The alfalfa, produced by a Washington farmer, was rejected by foreign buyers last month who ban the use of genetically engineered foods.

The discovery has refueled the debate over food labeling. In November, Washington voters will decide the fate of I-522 which calls for genetically modified foods (GMOs) to be labeled.
