P&G to recall products containing unapproved GMO potato

KOBE, Japan - Procter and Gamble Far East Inc., the Japan unit of Procter & Gamble Co., will recall its ''Pringles'' potato chip products (pictured) as some have been found to contain unapproved gene-spliced potatoes. The two genetically modified potato varieties used in the snack, NewLeaf Plus and NewLeaf Y, have not been approved by Japanese health authorities, the company said, though both have been declared safe by health authorities in Canada and the United States.
