The Food Standards Agency has provided a list of Chinese rice products tested since 12 April and found to contain Bt63 rice. In April, the European Commission adopted an emergency measure requiring imports of specified products originating or consigned from China to be certified free of the unauthorised genetically modified organism (GMO) known as 'Bt63'.
Bt63 is an unauthorised GMO and so should not be on the market.

More information about the emergency measure adopted by the Commission can be found at the link below.

Following enforcement activities carried out at ports and sampling activities carried out by local authorities and food businesses since 12 April, the products detailed in the two lists below have been found to contain Bt63 rice.
Further updates will be provided if other products are found to contain Bt63 rice.
