The center for food safety to AmericaFDAThe legal petition GMO labeling requirements
Lining (China Agricultural University, Professor of China Academy of Engineering) Peng Yufa (Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Institute of plant protection), Kou Jianping (Department of science and technology education, agricultural GMO safety management and intellectual property rights division), Lining (director of the Ministry of agriculture science and technology development center gene safety)2011Years8Month23In the"The national science and technology reporter transgenic knowledge training"A series of lies, fabricated and attempt to answer the fallacy"Genetically modified corn caused the rats to reduce","Americans do not eat genetically modified food"For questions about the safety of genetically modified food.
Careful readers to pay close attention to these lies and myths, at least in part, from the sale did not dare to involve "genetically modified food""Genetically modified pseudo science", Fang outdated discipline.
"Economic Observer"2010Years3Month8Day,3Month15Day and3Month22Consecutive published "Fang Zhouzi:Scientific debate--GM crop safety?"Later," FangBlog"2010Years3Month22The day was published when again:
The food and Drug Administration (USA asFDAThe report notes):"FDANo don't believe, is now in development, used as a variety of food and feed crops will bring new security or management problems."
BecauseFDADoes not require special signs on genetically modified food, these transgenic sweet corn were Americans imperceptibly eat.Americans even in the case of knowledge, nor eat transgenic sweet corn.
Unlike European countries is not importune, American government marked on genetically modified food, but only allows businesses to voluntarily marking containing genetically modified ingredients or not containing GM ingredients.Only in the transgenic technology has changed the nutritional content of the food or the introduction of may cause allergic ingredients, America food and Drug Administration(FDA)For this new component mark.
USA folk there have been calls for mandatory labeling of genetically modified food, some members of the bill but failed.Requirements for marking of reason is the consumer has the right to know what they were eating, also is the home is now speculation"The right to know".But the so-called"Informed"Based on the obtained is based on accurate information, and not in a forward bias to mislead public opinion under the unreasonable demands.There is no evidence at present indicates that genetically modified food will be more harmful than similar non genetically modified food, plenty of evidence that genetically modified food has been listed on the harmless to the human body even more benefits(For example, improve the nutritional value of food)So, mandatory requirements, marking a harmless ingredients, is not a reasonable request.
Transgenic maize varieties in USA listing the most is safe for human consumption standards to achieve America food and Drug Administration approved, is widely used in the production of corn starch, corn flakes and thousands of food.
Fang these claims a misguided attempt to officials, media and public trust:
1)"In American approved genetically modified food "" is safe for human consumption standards to achieve America food and Drug Administration approved";
2)"There is no evidence at present indicates that genetically modified food will be more harmful than similar non genetically modified food, plenty of evidence that genetically modified food has been listed on the harmless to the human body even more benefits(For example, improve the nutritional value of food)";
3)"Americans even in the case of knowledge, nor eat genetically modified food ";
4Endorses and supports)"The government does not require America marked on genetically modified food, but only allows businesses to voluntarily tag "containing genetically modified ingredients or does not contain genetically modified ingredients approach;
5") American folk there have been calls for mandatory labeling of genetically modified food, some members of the bill but not through the" only representative America minority views "unreasonable demands"!
In this paper, the revelations:
1American) non-profit to safeguard public interests and environmental protection organization "center" of food safety, in350Many non-governmental organizations support and safety of food businesses, "to registerFDA(USA food and Drug Administration) to submit a formal legal petition, requirementsFDAIdentification of genetically modified food requirements";
