Introduction: Professor Luo Yunbo, Dean of the school of food science and nutrition engineering, China Agricultural University, said at the recently held "safety series forum of genetically modified food", from a scientific point of view, people should be assured of the safety of genetically modified food Luo Yunbo said that some people have doubts about the safety of genetically modified food because they do not understand the research and development process of genetically modified food and the characteristics of genetically modified food In fact, it is a long and strict scientific research process from research and development to planting of a transgenic plant In China, the development of transgenic plants needs to go through the laboratory stage, intermediate test stage (1-2 years), environmental test stage (1-2 years), productive test (1-2 years), comprehensive safety assessment (including environmental safety assessment and food safety assessment), and finally application for production license The whole process will take about 10 years In this process, developers and regulators of transgenic plants will evaluate the safety of transgenic plants, and finally decide whether they can be planted In fact, although some of us are still doubting the safety of genetically modified foods, the import of genetically modified soybeans in China has remained at about 20 million tons since 2002 Most of the soybean oil we eat is made from genetically modified soybeans.
