English term or phrase: to have a damaging effect on markets
Unapproved GM wheat found on US farm

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced that unapproved GM wheat has been found contaminating an Oregon farmer's field. The GM wheat, known as Roundup Ready, was developed by Monsanto to withstand application of Roundup (glyphosate) herbicide. After a decade of field trials, Monsanto dropped efforts to introduce the GM wheat in 2004 in the face of intense opposition. However, Monsanto once again began field-testing GM wheat in 2011. Opponents of GM wheat have long argued that it would contaminate conventional wheat.

The USDA claimed the contamination was "isolated". However, this is a meaningless statement because the USDA has not revealed how many samples from which sources it has tested. If you don't look, you can't find. The USDA also claimed, based on Monsanto data, that the wheat was as safe as non-GM wheat. However, Monsanto has performed no animal feeding studies on the wheat beyond acute oral toxicity tests in mice - meaning that medium- and long-term health effects have not been tested for.

***The contamination finding has had a damaging effect on markets, with prices falling and Japan suspending US imports.***


Wie findet ihr folgende (etwas freiere) Lösungen für den letzten Satz:

a) Die Kontamination hat bereits dazu geführt, dass der Preis von US-Weizen zurückgegangen ist und dass Japan alle Weizenimporte aus den USA gestoppt hat.

b) Die Kontamination hat bereits spürbar den Preis von US-Weizen belastet und dazu geführt, dass Japan alle Weizenimporte aus den USA gestoppt hat.

(Die Formulierung "to have a damaging effect" habe ich in beiden Fällen einfach weggelassen)
