Traces of a genetically modified maize called StarLink, which is not approved for
human consumption, have been found in corn starch and snacks in Japan, says a local

the US, following its discovery in taco shells last month (New Scientist,
7 October, p.6). So far, no contaminated food has turned up in Europe.
