Agribusiness lobbyists took an active role in writing a U.K. government report on genetically modified (GM) foods, two former members of the Food Standards Agency's (FSA's) steering group have revealed.
Dr. Helen Wallace of Genewatch U.K. and Professor Brian Wynne both resigned recently in protest of what Wynne calls a "dogmatically entrenched" pro-GM attitude at the FSA, whose head recently accused GM critics of being "anti-science."
Following the report's release, the FSA and the ABC began planning a "public engagement exercise" to promote GM foods. The exercise has been widely condemned as rigged, and the revelations over prior collusion between the agency and the council have only heightened this controversy.
