monsanto

$2.5 Million. That’s the amount of the largest fine ever given out under a U.S. pesticides law, and it will be agricultural powerhouse Monsanto that will pay it. The Environmental Protection Agency will be collecting the $2.5 million fine, which considering other payments Monsanto has had to pay out in the past, is barely a drop in Monsanto’s bottomless bucket.

Monsanto was selling genetically modified cotton seeds without labeling them as such between the years if 2002 and 2007. The seeds were illegally sold in several Texas counties where the seeds are explicitly banned.
