U.S. gov said #GM corn + #glyphosate are safe. Mexico reps said U.S. presented old evidence, ignored many studies, dismissed independent science + cited science full of conflicts of interest in its responses in the trade dispute.

The Conahcyt report + related analyses (docs posted here usrtk.org/gmo/gm-corn-...) underpin Mexico’s 2023 decree to restrict #GM corn in tortillas and phase out the use of #glyphosate. The U.S. has challenged those policies as unfair trade practice; a decision in that case is expected any day.
