GMO-Rice LL601 content in rice shipments: 6 in 10,000 kernels

I have now found a source that provides some data on the quantity of GM rice LL601 found in US-rice shipments to the EU. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) reports:

"Preliminary reports from US rice producers indicate that the level of adventitious presence of LLRICE601 might be below 0.1% (Riceland reported 0.06% i.e. 6 in 10000 seeds). Exposure levels in the EU Members States cannot be estimated accurately from the data provided."
