Hungary has located and destroyed 1000 acres of maize that was
found to be grown with genetically modified seeds. Hungary is a nation
where genetically modified seeds are banned along with other genetically
modified ingredients.
“Almost 1000 acres of maize found to have been ground with genetically
modified seeds have been destroyed throughout Hungary, deputy state
secretary of the Ministry of Rural Development Lajos Bognar said. The
GMO maize has been ploughed under, said Lajos Bognar, but pollen has not
spread from the maize, he added.”
GMO seed checks take place even though seed traders are required to make sure there products are not genetically modified.

also reported, “The free movement of goods within the EU means that
authorities will not investigate how the seeds arrived in Hungary, but
they will check where the goods can be found, Bognar said. Regional
public radio reported that the two biggest international seed producing
companies are affected in the matter and GMO seeds could have been sown
on up to the thousands of hectares in the country.”
