GM foods are a potential threat? Salad oil is one of them
The Zhejiang Provincial Food Safety Commission, the first to be established nationwide, recently reported that the province’s food safety has 10 hidden dangers such as excessive pesticide residues and excessive hormones. The recently listed genetically modified foods are among the “potential threatsâ€. Is genetically modified food harmful to the human body? This issue has always been controversial. The Minister of Food Safety of the World Health Organization believes that the presence of genetically modified food on the international market is unlikely to pose risks to humans. At present, this view prevails, and many countries such as the United States and Canada have responded. At the same time, some experts believe that genetically modified foods are toxic, cause allergic reactions, change plant nutrients or toxic protein properties and Other potential risks, should be listed on the market, many European countries have resisted the listing of genetically modified foods. "Ye Yongmao, senior engineer of the food safety legislation advisor of the State Council Legislative Affairs Office and former deputy director of the Zhejiang Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, said that as one of the country's authoritative food safety experts, Ye Yongmao also put forward his own academic viewpoint: "From various laboratories According to the risk assessment results, there are at least five major potential risks in genetically modified foods: the production of toxins, human carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, or genetic mutations; the production of allergic reactions in the human body; the imbalance in the nutritional structure of foods; the development of drug resistance in humans; Imbalance between nature and ecological environment. Since genetically modified foods were introduced more than 20 years ago, there is still a lack of scientific and long-term safety assessment. China has always been cautious about the import and market of genetically modified foods. In life, the genetically modified food that has the highest correlation with the people is “salad oil.†The reporter made a random survey at Lianhua Supermarket Wulin Square Store, the most common one on the market. Among the brands and 10 kinds of salad oils, soybean oil and blend oil basically all contain genetically modified ingredients, and they all have “genetic raw materials for genetically modified soybeans†or “raw raw materials for genetically modified rapeseeds†on the packaging. A customer, they all said that when they buy oil they never pay attention to whether or not they contain genetically modified raw materials, and they do not know what is genetically modified food. For the supervision of genetically modified foods, what the Provincial Food Safety Commission can do is to require the departments of industry and commerce and health to ensure that Listed genetically modified foods must be clearly marked to facilitate consumers' purchases.. News Links Genetically modified foods are genetically engineered to change the genes of animals and plants and produce foods with new features. For example, using deep-sea fish Genes can help ordinary plants such as tomatoes and strawberries to resist cold; the genes of certain bacteria In corn and soybean plants, they can be better protected against pests. Since Americans first cultivated genetically modified tomatoes in 1982, there are more than 60 genetically modified crops in the world, mainly in the United States and Canada. , South Africa, Argentina, etc. In June 2001, the State Council issued the "Regulations on the Safety Management of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms", and in March 2002, the Ministry of Agriculture promulgated the "Administrative Measures on the Labeling of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms" to determine the first batch of agricultural products for logo management. GMO: Soybean seed, soybean, soybean meal, soybean oil, soybean meal, corn seed, corn, corn oil, corn meal, rape seed, rapeseed oil, rapeseed meal, cotton seed, fresh tomato, and tomato sauce.
