Genetic modification is an on-going problem in Asia’s basmati rice network and it is a problem that importers need to be vigilant in curbing, according to an industry expert.

Richard Werran, CEO of Cert-ID – an independent certification firm specialising in food safety and production,

told FoodNavigator-Asia that GM contamination in rice is food fraud.

He said that the problem stems from China, a country with a “very strong GM mandate”. 
Due to the complex network of Asia’s rice sector; “regrettably this is spilling over into other Asian countries” he added,
and reaching Europe and other global markets via indirect routes.
