According to Yubo Zhiye Market Research Center, Gansu Province issued regulations to further strengthen the quality supervision of infant formula milk powder It is worth noting that in this local regulation, in addition to reiterating the need to strengthen supervision, it is also specifically mentioned that it is forbidden to use genetically modified food as an auxiliary material for the production of milk powder However, some insiders pointed out that if milk powder wants to absolutely prohibit genetically modified excipients, it will have to face the "certification difficulty" and "detection difficulty" Although most of the measures mentioned in the document are familiar to the industry, it still gives the industry a great sense of innovation to "establish the registration system of formula, raw and auxiliary materials use and packaging label of infant formula milk powder products, and prohibit the use of genetically modified food as the auxiliary materials for the production of milk powder" It is understood that the proposition of "genetically modified infant milk powder" has received less attention in domestic public opinion before, and its controversy mainly focuses on the use of soybean based infant formula, because the producers import genetically modified soybeans from Brazil and the United States However, according to data, food manufacturers' groups, including many multinational milk powder producers, have said that it is "unrealistic and impractical" to guarantee that infant formula does not contain genetically modified ingredients, and to require zero tolerance of genetically modified ingredients in their products Relevant Transgenic Research Report 2012-2016 current situation and future trend forecast of China's non transgenic soybean industry 2011-2016 investment value and prospect Consulting Report 2011-2016 China's non transgenic soybean in-depth research and Investment Strategy Research Report 2009-2013 non transgenic soybean salad oil industry planning research and investment value analysis topic 2008 More analysis of the pharmaceutical industry in China including the global report on the research and development of genetically modified crops in But the rules seem to focus more on concepts than on how to control them " The above said, at present, there is no national authority for the genetically modified adjuvants in infant formula For more information about the latest report, please refer to the current situation and future trend of China's Non GMO soybean industry in 2012-2016.
