Genetic ID said this week that it has licensed its proprietary technology for testing for genetically modified organisms to Brazilian firm EcoCerta Analises Ambientais.

With the license, EcoCerta adds GMO and species testing of agricultural and food products to its portfolio of environmental testing products, Genetic ID said. In addition, EcoCerta joins Fairfield, Iowa-based Genetic ID's 17-member global network of GMO testing labs, called the Global Laboratory Alliance.
