According to the latest issue of "Fangyuan" magazine, information from the Ministry of Agriculture indicates that as of now, China has approved the issuance of seven kinds of safety certificates for the production and application of genetically modified plants, including genetically modified insect-resistant cotton, resistant storage of tomatoes, and changing color petunias. Disease-resistant sweet pepper, disease-resistant papaya, insect-resistant rice, and phytase corn. In addition, five crops such as genetically modified soybeans, corn, rapeseed, cotton, and sugar beet are also approved for use as raw materials for processing, and genetically modified crops imported as raw materials for processing must not enter the production and planting link. The person in charge of the Agricultural Genetically Modified Organism Safety Management Office of the Ministry of Agriculture told the “Fangyuan†reporter that “food planted and marketed in China is limited to genetically modified cotton (a small amount of edible cottonseed oil) and genetically modified papaya, and none of the remaining transgenic plants have entered the production and planting link. China's approval to import genetically modified crops used as raw materials for processing may enter the market as a food ingredient." The genetically modified foods that may be contained in foods sold on the market are limited to genetically modified soybeans, corn, rapeseeds, and papayas. At present, there is no commercial planting of genetically modified food crops in China. "At present, China's genetically modified organism safety management system can be said to be quite complete," said the relevant person of the Ministry of Agriculture agricultural GMO safety management office. The "Regulations on the Safety Management of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms" and supporting regulations together constitute the regulatory system for the safety management of genetically modified organisms in China. On this basis, China established the inter-ministerial joint conference system for the safety management of agricultural genetically modified organisms. The joint conference consists of 11 departments, including the Ministry of Agriculture, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Health, and is responsible for researching and coordinating the safety management of agricultural genetically modified organisms. In the major issues. Wu Kongming, a researcher at the Institute of Plant Protection of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, believes that the safety evaluation system for genetically modified organisms in China is very strict. In simple terms, the core of safety evaluation is to evaluate whether genetically modified organisms have harmful substances, nutrients or influence the environment according to the principles of modern biotechnology food risk analysis. And this assessment is usually a reference to traditional foods of the same kind. "Overall, our system has reached the world's most rigorous level and is scientific. Therefore, the issued safety certificate is reliable," said Wu Kongming. In addition to the aforementioned safety assessment, the GMOs also achieved safety control through the entire process of genetically modified foods from the laboratory, to the field, and finally to our dining table. In order to protect consumers’ right to know, according to the “Regulations on the Administration of Safety of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms†and the “Administrative Measures on the Labeling of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms,†all agricultural genetically modified organisms listed in the agricultural genetically modified catalogue in China shall be identified; If it is not marked as required, it may not be imported or sold. “Now there are some misunderstandings from the outside world that GM foods are eaten by foreigners and eaten by Chinese. In fact, the United States is using the most widely used countries for genetically modified foods such as soybeans, corn, canola, etc., except that they do not require identification as ' "Gene conversion" has been misunderstood." The relevant person of the Agricultural Genetically Modified Organism Safety Management Office of the Ministry of Agriculture has repeatedly stressed that "At present, there has been no case in the world where there has been a scientifically confirmed case of safety incidents due to genetically modified foods." (Yang Jiayu/ Wen Wen More details can be found in "Fangyuan" magazine published in May 2011.) link: What is genetically modified? Transgenic technology is the introduction of artificially-separated and modified genes into the genome of organisms. Due to the expression of introduced genes, genetically modified organisms' traits are induced. This technique is called transgene technology. People often say that "genetic engineering", "genetic engineering", and "genetic transformation" are all synonymous with genetically modified genes. Genetically modified organisms are often referred to in the media as "Genetically modified organisms" (GMOs). "Actually, genes are not mysterious, and many problems have been revealed." Huang Daxuan, a researcher at the Institute of Biotechnology of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, told reporters, "A lot of the food we eat now contains a lot of genes, because each There are nucleic acids in cells, and nucleic acids are the main components of genes." For GM, "We don't just turn around, but we need to understand its function and safety before we can turn it." Huang Dazhao said. He believes that “through safe management and scientific evaluation, genetically modified products that are approved by the Chinese government to enter the market are safe because they have passed very rigorous research and management procedures and have undergone many people’s and years of practice. Americans began planting large areas of genetically modified crops in the mid-1990s, and now 29 countries around the world are planting them. Therefore, it has proved that its safety has been widely accepted."
