Introduction: yesterday morning, the reporter found in the review of the market with Beijing Municipal Bureau of agriculture, industry and commerce, public security and other departments that some non local edible oil enterprises have almost all adopted the logo of "genetically modified raw materials in this product processing, but this product no longer contains genetically modified ingredients" Siy yesterday morning, Beijing Agricultural Bureau, together with the departments of industry and Commerce and public security, inspected chaoshifa Madian store, Beijing meilianmei chain business Co., Ltd Beitaipingzhuang general store, Beijing Tongzhou District Wumei Tongfu Business Co., Ltd., Beijing Zhonggao Xiyou Building Co., Ltd., Beijing Tongyi Oil Co., Ltd and Beijing Essen Lubao Oil Co., Ltd A total of 9 brands and 13 soybean oil products were inspected, and only HuiFu soybean salad oil was not marked Siy is in chaoshifa Madian store, and "Flamingo" salad oil is asked by law enforcement officials to get off the shelves immediately Wu Jianfan, director of Beijing agricultural genetically modified organisms safety management office, said that when the brand salad oil was identified and approved, the recognized marking method was "processing raw materials for genetically modified soybeans", but he was good at adding "this product no longer contains genetically modified ingredients" During the inspection, siy found that none of the brand's genetically modified logo reached the eye-catching standard According to the measures for the management of marks, the genetically modified marks shall be eye-catching and firm, and the competent department shall have clear requirements on the size, font, posting position and other aspects of the marks Is it safe for siy to eat genetically modified food? According to relevant researchers from the biosafety research center of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, transgene is to recombine DNA molecules from different sources, overcome the barrier of reproductive isolation of natural species, separate and clone genes with certain characteristics, and then transfer them to other biological cells, so as to create new life that does not exist in nature according to people's wishes Object function and type From 1998 to 2001, the total planting area of transgenic crops in China exceeded 20 million mu, reducing the use of pesticides by more than 70% Although in the process of transgenic operation, scientists have carefully designed every link, but for this new technology, human experience is still too little Once there are problems, the resulting safety hazards may be extensive, potential, long-term, unpredictable and irreparable Therefore, most countries in the world take a cautious attitude towards genetically modified technology, especially genetically modified food Many countries have established management systems for genetically modified food Recently, the "genetically modified food mark" certified by Beijing was officially issued, which means that the genetically modified food in Beijing has been under strict management, and the right of Beijing people to know has been well guaranteed Experts suggest that consumers should see if there is a "genetically modified" label on the food before deciding whether to buy Siy
