Netherlands Rejects Argentina Soy Meal Cargoes on GMO Issue

The Netherlands has rejected at least two Argentinian soybean meal cargoes this month after non-approved genetically modified material was found, threatening to disrupt a major trade flow.

Dutch authorities filed two alerts in April involving cargoes originating from Argentina, the world’s top exporter of soybean meal. The April 14 and 17 notifications cited the presence of unauthorized GMO traits, according to the European Commission website.
