Canadian experts call for in-depth study of genetically modified food safety

Introduction: the Royal Society of Canada called on the government to pay attention to the safety of genetically modified food Friday, and to prove whether eating genetically modified food is harmful to human body through more strict scientific tests According to an expert report published by the Royal Society, many Canadian consumers have reported allergic symptoms after eating genetically modified food Some environmentalists believe that the promotion of genetically modified food will make some wild animals and plants extinct The genetically modified food industry is developing rapidly in Canada At present, many agricultural products are genetically modified food The report points out that in the next 5 to 10 years, driven by economic interests, the genetically modified food industry in Canada will develop at a faster speed, and will develop from the field of agricultural products to the field of animal husbandry, so it is necessary to conduct an in-depth study on the safety of genetically modified food as soon as possible In terms of the inspection of genetically modified food, the report believes that at present, the inspection of genetically modified food in Canada is not strict enough The report calls on the government to make a national plan as soon as possible to conduct a long-term follow-up study on the impact of genetically modified food on people, animals, plants and the environment The report suggests setting up a plasma bank to allow those allergic to GM foods to volunteer blood samples for research At the same time, the establishment of a genetically modified food allergy registration center, in order to facilitate the relevant units for research The report also recommends that all genetically modified animals, including livestock, fish and pets, must be registered in order to study the impact of genetically modified animals on humans and the environment.
