One year after the Sudan I incident, international food producer Heinz is suffering from another credit crisis after the news came out that non-approved genetically engineered rice was detected in the company's baby rice cereal. In a recent business trip to Guangzhou, Heinz China's newly appointed CEO Donald Gadsden said that up to now, no genetically engineered elements were found in the company's products. All products produced by Heinz are safe to eat and there is no need to recall them.  (Chinanews.cn)
