It needs a process for the implementation of transgenic labeling system in China

Introduction: since March 20, 2002, China has officially implemented the genetically modified labeling system Since March 20, 2002, China has officially implemented the genetically modified labeling system The National Agricultural Department has been accepting genetically modified labeling applications and genetically modified safety management The reporter interviewed the Ministry of agriculture of the people's Republic of China and relevant local agricultural departments on the issue of genetically modified marks Agricultural officials said that China's genetically modified organisms mainly come from imported soybean, corn, rape and other food raw materials, and the genetically modified foods are mainly soybean oil produced by domestic oil companies From January to October 2002, 8.7 million tons of soybeans were imported from China, most of which were genetically modified products The main pressed products of imported soybean are soybean meal and soybean oil Soybean meal is mainly used for poultry and animal feed, while soybean oil is mainly used for human consumption At present, through strict testing and examination and approval, the safety certificate of genetically modified organisms has been issued to large domestic oil production enterprises, and many kinds of genetically modified product marks have been approved TM5 is mainly imported from China, so coastal provinces and port cities directly manage the safety and labeling of genetically modified organisms Agricultural officials in Liaoning, Jiangsu, Tianjin and Shenzhen have all approved a large number of genetically modified product logos, they told the paper Jiangsu Provincial Department of agriculture and forestry science and Education said that the approved genetically modified products are basically blended oil, soybean salad oil, rapeseed salad oil and soybean meal The applicants are Donghai grain and oil (Zhangjiagang), a large local grain and oil enterprise, and other companies Wang Zhenman, Animal Husbandry Department of Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of agriculture, forestry and fisheries, told reporters that two months ago, he reviewed eight genetically modified labeling applications submitted by local oil companies such as Shenzhen Nanhai oil industry company However, as far as he knows, there are no labeled GM products on the market "If the enterprises do not produce the genetically modified products they apply for, they do not need to mark them Once they produce such products, they should mark them according to the national laws and regulations." He said he would go to the market for inspection in a while TM5 genetically modified food is a new thing in China after all A survey shows that one third of the domestic consumers have never heard of genetically modified food, and it may take a process for the implementation of the genetically modified labeling system in China TM5
