US transgenic wheat is alarmed worldwide
In a surprising turn of events, genetically modified wheat that had been abandoned over a decade ago has recently reappeared on U.S. farmlands, sparking global concern and media attention. The discovery was first reported by Xinhua News Agency on June 2, highlighting the unexpected return of a once-banned crop.
The incident began in April when a farmer in Oregon noticed that some wheat plants survived after being sprayed with herbicides. Concerned, he sent samples to Oregon State University for testing, which confirmed the presence of herbicide resistance. This raised immediate alarms, as genetically modified wheat had never been approved for commercial cultivation in the United States.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) was quickly informed in early May and launched an investigation. After thorough field inspections, it was confirmed that the wheat was a type developed by Monsanto over ten years ago—specifically, a genetically modified variety designed to resist insecticides. Despite its long abandonment, the crop had somehow resurfaced.
On May 29, the USDA officially announced the findings, but the origin of the wheat remains a mystery. Although Monsanto had withdrawn its application for planting this wheat nine years ago, and the last field trial took place in 2001, the current discovery is located far from any previous experimental sites. Researchers are still puzzled about how the wheat ended up in Oregon, especially since the variety tested now is winter wheat, whereas the original trials involved Spring wheat.
According to U.S. law, anyone found cultivating genetically modified wheat without permission could face severe penalties, including fines of up to $1 million. The USDA has emphasized the seriousness of the situation, calling for strict compliance with agricultural regulations.
The news of the GM wheat’s reappearance has already led to international reactions. Japan canceled an order for U.S. wheat, while South Korea suspended imports of U.S. soft white wheat. The European Union also instructed member states to conduct stricter inspections on U.S. wheat imports.
Despite these concerns, the U.S. government has urged its trading partners not to panic, citing a 2004 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) evaluation that deemed the wheat safe for consumption. The FDA concluded that the genetically modified variety did not pose a threat to food safety.
Monsanto had invested heavily in developing herbicide-resistant wheat starting in 1997, with the goal of increasing yields by 5% to 15% compared to conventional wheat. However, due to strong public opposition, the company decided to abandon the project in 2004. But even after this setback, discussions about the potential reintroduction of GM wheat into the global market have continued among industry leaders and researchers over the past decade.
