Food and Chemical Toxicology, which last year published the now notorious GMO rat study by French scientist Gilles-Éric Séralini that suggested that a genetically modified corn variety led to a high incidence of cancers, will be retracted and evidence of it expunged from the journal’s database.

Ivan Oransky, vice president and global editorial director of MedPage Today, has the breaking skinny on this fast developing story in Retraction Watch.
