It seems that new GM corn is being testing in Africa. THe claim is that there is no wild or domestic contact in these testing feilds ( see the last sentences of the report).

The hope is to reduce the pest which bore the corn with the GM pest resistant corn crossed with the Kenya grown corn to bring out a better more resistant corn. While it is in its inital testing trials the claim is that the corn grown would be "safe" for consumption.
