Greece – Unauthorised maize found in ‘Golden Griddle Syrup’ from USA.
3 February 2010, the Greek authorities notified the EU’s RASFF system that it had identified unauthorised genetically modified maize in “Golden Griddle Syrup” from the United States. The product was rejected following border inspections.
The notification did not state which specific GM maize line had caused the contamination. See RASFF No 2010.AFD for further details.
