    Environment: GM Corn Amount May Be Double Initial Amount

    Under questioning by Green Co-Leader Jeanette Fitzsimons, Biosecurity Minister Jim Anderton admitted that the amount of contaminated sweet corn allowed into New Zealand by MAF was more than double that originally thought. "It seems that further investigations have revealed that four consignments totalling 4.42 tonnes, not 1.8 tonnes, were okayed for import, despite having certification to show that it was contaminated with GE," Ms Fitzsimons says.
