Cross-fertilization—the process by which different strains of a crop combine to produce a new organism containing genetic material from both parent strains??€”can only occur with whole grains. Crushing the kernel of a grain, known as milling, prevents it from reproducing and thus transmitting its genetic material to a daughter organism. Milling GM crops thus eliminates the danger of cross-fertilization and strain contamination by making it impossible for the crops to transmit their altered genes by reproduction...
