This is the third annual report from the online GM Contamination
Register, which reviews reported cases of contamination and
illegal plantings and releases of GM (genetically modified)
organisms. The question mark has been used by Greenpeace in GE-
crop fields around the world to highlight the lack of
information concerning genetically modified organisms. Executive
summary: The GM Contamination Register was started by GeneWatch
UK and Greenpeace International in 2005, to address the failure
of international agencies to monitor contamination. In 2007, 39
incidents were added to the register. In addition, changes to
the reporting format and the discovery of new cases led to the
addition of 1 case for 2003, 2 cases for 2005 and 32 cases for
2006, bringing the total number of incidents recorded in the
database to 216. The 28 incidents of contamination reported in
2007 involved food (19), feed (7) and seed (2). The year saw an
increase in the number of feed cases reported due to the EU's
Rapid Alert System for Food
