I acknowledge that these incidents aren't exactly "apples-to-apples" with the GMO-vs-organic-or-whatever argument; the larger problem is that food safety cannot be guaranteed, even with regulatory oversight. Keep that in mind when Monsanto et al claim "perfectly safe, totally equivalent", or when The Government says "no problem, we have safety regulations".
