China investigates whether children used in GMO 'golden rice' trial
Published September 11, 2012

China's health authorities will investigate allegations that genetically
modified (GMO) rice was tested on Chinese children as part of a Sino-U.S.
research project, state media said on Tuesday.
One Chinese researcher has been suspended by authorities while
investigations are carried out.
China is already the world's largest grower of GMO cotton and the top
importer of GMO soybeans but, while Beijing has already approved home-grown
strains of GMO rice, it remains cautious about introducing the technology on
a commercial basis amid widespread public concern about food safety.
The Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) investigation
came after a report last month by environmental group Greenpeace claimed
that a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-backed study used 24 Chinese
children aged between six and eight to test genetically modified "golden
rice".
Golden rice, a new type of rice that contains beta carotene, is intended to
alleviate vitamin A deficiency.
The CDC said no domestic institutions had been approved to participate in
the research and that it had also asked Tufts University in the United
States to help investigate the issue.
The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) is working with leading
nutrition and agricultural research organizations to develop and evaluate
golden rice as a potential method to reduce vitamin A deficiency in the
Philippines and Bangladesh.
The research by Tufts University and other Chinese scientists was published
in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in August. It aimed to
demonstrate that the rice could provide a good source of vitamin A for
children in countries where deficiency in the vitamin is common. (here)
Andrea Grossman, assistant director of public relations at Tufts University,
told state news agency Xinhua in a recent interview the university was
deeply concerned about the allegations and is reviewing protocols used in
the 2008 research "to ensure the strictest standards were adhered to".
"We have always placed the highest importance on human health, and we take
all necessary steps to ensure the safety of human research subjects,"
Grossman said.
"We have always been and remain committed to the highest ethical standards
in research," she said.
The Greenpeace report sparked a wave of criticism on Weibo, China's version
of Twitter, with the researchers accused of a breach of ethics for testing
poor, rural children whose families may not have been informed properly.
One of the Chinese authors, Shi-an Yin, has been suspended from work pending
further investigation after his responses proved to be inconsistent, the
CDC said.
Yin was cited by the official People's Daily newspaper as saying he helped
collect data for the study but was unaware that it involved GM rice.
The second of the two Chinese researchers, Hu Yuming, denied his involvement
in the research, the People's Daily said.
China, the world's top rice producer and consumer, approved the safety of
one locally developed strain of genetically modified rice, known as the Bt
rice, in 2009, but commercial production has been delayed.
Apart from genetically modified products, China's vast and unruly food
sector is still struggling to come to grips with food safety four years
after a major scandal where tainted milk powder was blamed for the deaths of
at least six children.
