Rice LL601 content: 5 per 10,00 kernels, BfR reports

The EFSA-estimate of 6 kernels of GMO-rice per 10,000 kernels may be too high. The German Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung (BfR) reports only 5 kernels per 10,000 in samples collected at food retailers.

The BfR also points out that selling LL601 is illegal because the variety has never been submitted for approval. But LL62, a related rice variety, has received approval by the US government.
