Genetically Engineered Wheat Plants Discovered in Washington State

On June 7, 2019, the U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed the discovery of genetically engineered (GE) wheat plants growing in an unplanted agricultural field in Washington State. The GE wheat in question is resistant to glyphosate.

There has been no evidence that the GE wheat found in Washington State has entered the food supply. The USDA is collaborating with state, industry and trading partners and are committed to providing timely and transparent information about their findings.
