The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has approved a new genetically engineered corn with eight different insect- and weed-fighting traits, but farmer and environmental groups say the approval was rushed and environmental risks ignored. Developed through a research agreement between Monsanto and Dow AgroSciences, SmartStax corn "stacks" eight different genetically engineered traits that allow corn to tolerate weed- and insect-killing products made by the two companies. Each of the traits has been approved by the CFIA, but opponents are concerned there might be unintended consequences when they are combined.
