Unauthorized GMO wheat plants found growing in Washington state

‘Genetically modified wheat was found growing in a Washington state field, according to agricultural officials. Regulatory agencies haven’t approved GMO wheat for production in the US, and the discovery could affect wheat sales abroad.
Federal authorities said on Friday that a farmer had discovered 22 herbicide-resistant wheat plants growing in an unplanted field, as first reported by the Associated Press.
The GMO wheat was developed to be resistant to the herbicide Roundup, which was created by the seed giant Monsanto. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) said it is holding and testing the farmer’s entire wheat harvest, but so far has not found any more GMOs.’
