Kby has learned that Beijing agricultural genetically modified organisms safety management office has released the first batch of agricultural genetically modified organisms catalogue to implement labeling management, including 17 kinds of crops and vegetable foods in five categories, including soybean oil, soybean, soybean meal, rapeseed, fresh tomato and tomato sauce Kby agricultural experts told reporters: "genetically modified food is not really terrible We have long enjoyed cooking with genetically modified soybean oil, which is one of the few genetically modified food in China General genetically modified food should be labeled on its outer packaging, but now there are many genetically modified food on the market in our country that have not been labeled For example, most of the soybean oil and tomato we eat now contain genetically modified ingredients, but as long as it is approved by the state, it is safe, and genetically modified food can be safely eaten " KbY
