The newly revised "Regulations on the Administration of Food Labeling" requires that product labels for genetically modified foods or foods containing legal genetically modified raw materials must be marked in Chinese. Yesterday, the reporter visited major supermarkets in the city and discovered that most of the foods based on genetically modified organisms have no relevant signs.
"Non-transgenic" is very conspicuous, and "transgenic" is very difficult to see
Yesterday morning, reporters saw in the edible oil sales area of ​​a store on Nanchang Road that there were no signs of “genetically modified products†or “made of genetically modified raw materials†for soybean oil of various brands.
Soymilk and soy sauce, which are based on soybeans, have no relevant signs. In a large supermarket in Liaoning Road, the reporter discovered that a brand of soy sauce in a 450-ml package marked “non-genetically modified†on its packaging, and various kinds of soybean powder, soybean salad oil, corn oil, rapeseed oil, and tomato sauce. Potatoes, peppers, and other foods are rarely labeled "genetically modified products."
Why are most of these foods processed with genetically modified organisms not specified on the outer packaging? The edible oil promoter of a supermarket in Jinghua Road stated that many people have misunderstood the understanding of genetically modified foods. Businesses are worried that GM labeling on the packaging will affect the sales of the product.
In the edible oil sales area of ​​a large-scale store in the South Yark factory, Ms. Zhao, who is purchasing soybean oil, said that when she was buying cooking oil, she was concerned that the product was produced by a regular manufacturer. The raw material that was not paid attention to oil was not genetically modified. biological.
According to the edible oil salesman at Daoxin Road, Zhang Daquan, most people do not care about whether edible oils are genetically modified foods. What everyone values ​​is price.
Controversy over safety, careful purchase of genetically modified foods
Is GM food safe? The reporter telephoned Professor Wang Wang from the Department of Bioengineering at Henan University of Science and Technology. Professor Wang said that since the first transgenic plant was cultivated in the world in 1983, there has been international debate about the safety of genetically modified foods.
How can I avoid buying genetically modified foods? Professor Wang said that consumers should first identify through the food packaging mark: If food packaging is not marked "natural food", consumers should be careful when purchasing; in the purchase of rice, corn, soybeans and other unprocessed agricultural products At the time, the relatively poor quality of the product can be selected - genetically modified products contain resistance genes, the probability of occurrence of insect pests is small, and the appearance is better.

Transgenic technology refers to the separation of a gene fragment from an organism, which is modified to be introduced into the genome of another organism, so as to achieve the purpose of transforming the organism. Transgenic technology breaks the boundaries between species. For example, researchers can implant a gene for cold-resistance in fish into a tomato and artificially create a new breed of cold-tolerant tomato. Therefore, genetically modified organisms are the life created in the laboratory. Foods containing genetically modified organisms are genetically modified foods.
Currently occupying the top three of China's imported genetically modified products are soybeans, corn, and rapeseed. It is estimated that 80% of soybean oil sold on the market in China is genetically modified soybean.
