    The story was aired on CBC radio this am. You can hear it at (starts about 9 minutes into the broadcast).

    Googled and couldn't find any more information. No mention on CGC website.

      There is a story today at www.statpub.com

      It appears the durum was "rejected" at some time last year because of contained too much ochratoxin.

      The importer was arrested trying to sell the durum after blending it with uncontaminated material.

        The link states:

        "The wheat comes from a shipload of Canadian durum which was seized by authorities in Bari LAST YEAR because it contained more than three times the allowed level of ochratoxin." (my capitalization added)

        Remember the deer-poop session the Board had? Now,ochratoxin

        What is the CWB doing to be proactive about this problem?
