SYNGENTA'S ENOGEN CORN FOUND IN NON-GMO WHITE CORN
 Apr. 7, 2017

(edited)

Nebrasks farmers who grow non-GMO white corn had their crops contaminated by Enogen corn.

Enogen is genetically engineered with an enzyme used for the first step in making corn ethanol. Enogen GMO corn can contaminate food corn through cross pollination in the field.

Farmers whose white corn crops are GMO contaminated face market rejection and lost income.

"There are a lot of ethanol plants and lots of white corn. And those don't mix," says Joel Starr, an organic farmer in Hastings, Nebraska. "That equals a trainwreck."
