Introduction: new page 1 "genetically modified" food, a new term, suddenly "airborne" into our lives In order to strengthen the implementation of the regulations on the safety management of agricultural genetically modified organisms, the relevant departments carried out spot checks on the genetically modified marks in the edible oil market of this city, in order to ensure consumers' right to know R7h is an academic term for genetically modified food If you don't grasp the concept correctly, it will cause consumers to feel confused about genetically modified food At the same time, when some media discuss the topic of genetically modified food, they will talk about how to mark the label of small packaging oil in the market with genetically modified food as "foggy" Experts from the Institute of nutrition and food safety of the China Center for Disease Control and prevention point out that, for example, genetically modified labeling is just to tell consumers the truth, just like telling you it's pork rather than beef People who don't like pork can not eat it, but that doesn't mean pork is not safe Is r7h safe to eat genetically modified food? According to experts from the biosafety research center of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, transgene is to transfer DNA from different sources The recombination of molecules overcomes the reproductive isolation barrier of natural species, separates and clones genes with certain characteristics, and then transfers them to other biological cells, so as to create new biological functions and types that do not exist in nature according to people's wishes At present, the total planting area of genetically modified crops in China is more than 20 million mu, which is close to us It is not hard to find that many genetically modified foods, vegetables and fruits are waving to consumers with their "handsome" attitude Among the "seven things to open the door", people pay more attention to genetically modified edible oil products According to the introduction of soybean processing experts, generally, the production of edible oil from genetically modified soybean raw materials should be carried out according to strict operating procedures, and its safety is the same as that of edible oil from non genetically modified soybean raw materials Because in the process of processing, the genetically modified ingredients basically flow to the soybean cake, and the genetically modified ingredients in the oil are very small, which can be ignored For example, "sea lion" refined cooking oil, soybean salad oil and other products are sent to relevant authorities for testing, and the product does not contain genetically modified ingredients Therefore, the edible oil processed from genetically modified soybean is safe in quality R7H
