'Frankenfood' potatoes turn up in Swedish field - The Local: "The discovery of genetically modified potatoes in a field in Sweden has led to the European Commission on Monday issuing a summons on German chemical giant BASF.
'Obviously there was a blunder which took place,' said a spokesperson for the European Commission, which is responsible for licensing products long labelled 'Frankenfoods' in media.
'The wrong potato was sent to Sweden,' the spokesperson said, triggering the summons to 'explain' why 'flowers' of Amadea, a GM crop currently being prepared by BASF, but which is not yet authorised, were found in the field."
