FEED – Food & Environment Electronic Digest - June 2006 Read FEED online: http://www.ucsusa.org/food_and_environment/feed/feed-june-2006.html?print=t Are there pharma crops in your state? Pharma and industrial crops are genetically engineered to produce products like drugs and plastics. Most pharma crops are corn or other food crops. UCS has concluded that it will be virtually impossible to keep these crops—not meant for consumption—out of the food supply. To find out if pharma crops have been approved for planting in your state, visit our newly updated pharma crop database at http://go.ucsusa.org/food_and_environment/pharm/index.php?s_keyword=XX Allergen-free soybeans without genetic engineering Researchers have identified two soybean varieties that do not contain the primary protein that causes soy allergies. The scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Donald Danforth Plant Science Centre in St. Louis screened more than 16,000 soybean lines. The two varieties will be made available without patents to breeders who are seeking to produce allergen-free soybeans without genetic engineering. Crop Science will publish the findings later this year.
