Introduction: according to foreign media, the hot issue of food "genetically modified" in 2003 became the focus of people's attention again on the eve of the Spring Festival in 2004 Yesterday, the reporter learned from the Department of agriculture of Liaoning Province that, according to the requirements of the relevant departments of the state, the "labeling" and "express" of genetically modified food in our province have entered the stage of strengthening At present, the "express" work of genetically modified food in the market is reassuring VK2 Provincial Department of Agriculture: the results of market inspection are satisfactory, the staff of science and Education Department of VK2 Provincial Department of agriculture told reporters that the first batch of agricultural genetically modified organisms under the national implementation of mark management directly enter the retail market, including nine soybean, soybean powder, soybean oil, corn, corn powder, rape seed oil, fresh tomato, tomato sauce, etc At present, the Agricultural Department of Liaoning Province has carried out two inspections on the explicit implementation of the market genetically modified food and the ingredients contained in the products, the latest of which is at the end of December last year, and the inspection results will come out before the Spring Festival Relevant personnel of the provincial agricultural department said that the expressed situation of genetically modified food was satisfactory VK2 has learned that the soybean oil most concerned by Shencheng citizens is the top priority of inspection All soybean oil imported for processing of genetically modified soybean must be labeled If any violator is found, he will be punished in accordance with the provisions of the relevant national regulations on genetically modified management Interview with VK2 reporter: it's hard to find the mark of VK2 for genetically modified food in the market The reporter visited several supermarkets in Shenyang and found that the mark of genetically modified soybean oil that people are very concerned about is basically marked according to the relevant requirements, but it's hard to find some marks In a supermarket, the reporter saw a middle-aged woman who was selecting soybean oil and found the genetically modified logo on the oil barrel for half a day She told reporters that according to relevant regulations, genetically modified soybean oil must be identified, and up to now, no genetically modified food has been found harmful to human body, so the logo of genetically modified soybean oil should be in a big way, and it is unnecessary to put it in a corner or a very inconspicuous place In the interview with VK2, the reporter learned that, despite the fact that the genetically modified food basically meets the requirements, there are still problems in the labeling of genetically modified organisms, some of which directly say that "this product does not contain genetically modified ingredients", some of which are "the processing raw materials of this product are genetically modified soybeans, but this product no longer contains genetically modified ingredients" According to the measures for the management of marks, the genetically modified marks shall be eye-catching and firm, and the competent department shall have clear requirements on the size, font, posting position and other aspects of the marks VK2
