Introduction: Jiangsu entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau has recently received a notice from the Central Science Laboratory of the British Ministry of agriculture and fisheries that the food laboratory of Jiangsu entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau has achieved outstanding results in the detection of genetically modified products in 68 laboratories around the world This indicates that China's inspection and quarantine department has reached the international advanced level in qualitative and quantitative detection technology of genetically modified products The food laboratory of Jiangsu inspection and Quarantine Bureau, as the only one in China's quality inspection system, participated in the international level test organized by the Central Scientific Laboratory of the British Ministry of agriculture and fisheries The qualitative and quantitative test results of its genetically modified products were 100% satisfactory At present, the laboratory has been identified as China's key transgenic testing laboratory As there is no final conclusion on the safety of genetically modified products, more than 130 countries around the world have formulated corresponding laws and regulations and management measures to protect human health, animal and plant safety and ecological environment, some of which explicitly prohibit the cultivation of genetically modified crops and import of genetically modified products; some require that when transporting import and export goods, genetically modified foods may be included The container of the product is labeled with a detailed label The regulations on the safety management of agricultural genetically modified organisms formulated by the Chinese government stipulates that from March 20 this year, genetically modified products circulating in the Chinese market must be labeled Those that are not labeled or do not follow the regulations will not be allowed to be sold or imported Therefore, the food laboratory of Jiangsu inspection and Quarantine Bureau not only learned from and innovated in the research of genetically modified detection technology, but also adopted CatB method to extract DNA (genetic gene) and improved the detection method of using PCR amplification technology to determine genetically modified products As long as the transgenic ratio of the tested products reaches 2%, it can be detected accurately, even 0.1% can be qualitative The tested varieties include soybean, corn, rapeseed, cotton and tomato The test certificate issued by the laboratory has been unanimously approved by Chinese and foreign merchants (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
