Another lawsuit against Roundup Ready alfalfa

The lengthy legal battle over Roundup Ready alfalfa apparently isn’t over yet.

The Center for Food Safety, a group critical of genetically modified crops, has filed a lawsuit against the USDA, arguing that the agency’s recent unrestricted approval of Roundup Ready alfalfa was illegal.   The center alleges the approval is based on faulty information, and that genetically modified alfalfa will damage the organic industry because it could contaminate conventional or organic alfalfa.

The suit was filed in federal court in San Francisco.  Monsanto, the developer of Roundup Ready alfalfa, says it is aware of the lawsuit and will review it.
