Wed Mar 14, 5:42 PM ET

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico is conducting tests on U.S. rice imports to ensure
it is free of genetic material not approved for human consumption, a government
official said on Wednesday.

Marco Antonio Meraz, who heads a federal biosecurity and GMO commission, said
the government was testing for the LL Rice 601 strain, which contaminated the
U.S. commercial supply last year.

The USA Rice Federation said on Wednesday Mexican officials had stopped rice
shipments at the border and were asking for certification that the grain is free
of the genetically modified material.
