The International Rice Research Institute, IRRI, based in the Phillipines has corrected recent media stories that the 30 year old GM rice, which is supposed to provide beta carotine to vitamin A deficient mothers and children, was about to be planted and disseminated this year.
The rice would only be commercialised if it was deemend safe and proven to actually improve the vitamin A status of its consumers.
This was still to be proven:
www.keine-gentechnik.deDas Internationale Institut für Reisforschung ( IRRI ) widerspricht auf seiner Website anderslautenden Medienberichten.
Der als Wundermittel gegen Mangelernährung gefeierte Reis sei gerade erst auf den Philippinen getestet worden.
Für Umweltorganisationen ist diese erneute Verzögerung eine gute Nachricht.
