Seminis, a vegetable seed company owned by Monsanto, has admitted that
GMO zucchini (courgettes) have been accidently planted in Germany.
Apparently the company has destroyed the crop. 90 grams of seeds were
imported from the US via Holland. One region of Germany claims that 100
seeds were planted in greenhouses. According to Seminis they are the
largest developer, grower and marketer of fruit and vegetable seeds in
the world. They operate in 150 countries and territories. Earlier this
year they were bought by Monsanto
