Genetic problems stuck in multiple mysteries, "secret" and intensified anxiety

There is very little of a technology like GM, which makes opposing parties' views so contradictory: contradictory experimental evidence, expression of extreme opposite interests, and unreliable research conclusions that make consumers feel at a loss.

CCTV recently exposed a random purchase of 3 bags of rice containing 3 bags of genetically modified, genetically modified crops were secretly planted by some farmers, and once again brought the GM topic into public view.

From the “golden rice” violation test on students to Hainan Breeding Base to investigate and punish genetically modified crops, some genetically modified experiments break through regulatory events from time to time. At the same time, many GM foods sold on the market are not labeled or “shameful” at logos.

Regarding the "unspoken secret" of genetically modified technology, it harms the public's right to choose and the right to know, violates relevant laws and regulations in China, and exacerbates the "transgenic anxiety" that prevails in society, and behind these turmoil may be More complex interest chains are involved.

From planting to experimentation: Genetic problems fall into multiple “mysteries”

Since the commercialization of genetically modified crops in 1996, genetic modification has been the most controversial technology in the history of agriculture. Proponents believe that GM technology can alleviate resource constraints, protect the ecological environment, and improve product quality. Opponents challenge the food safety, ecological security, and staple food security. Is GM technology a "Pandora Box" or a future of agriculture? Can technical risks be effectively prevented? All kinds of disputes are difficult for the public to discern.

According to media reports, as early as 2005, GM rice was conveniently planted in some areas, and Hubei province has eradicated 10,000 mu of illegally grown transgenic rice. These uncertified genetically modified crops are scattered and planted in the private sector.

In the European Union's Food and Feed Rapid Alert System, only 25 of China's rice products exported to the EU in 2013 were found to contain genetically modified components. The supervision and testing center for the composition of genetically modified organisms of the Tianjin Academy of Agricultural Sciences had found that genetically modified components were found in samples of commercially available foods.

Planting is sneaky and GM experiments are hidden.

In an external briefing on March 30, the Hainan Provincial Department of Agriculture stated that from December 23 to 27 last year, law enforcement agencies carried out a South-to-South work in the three cities and counties in Sanya, Lingshui, and Ledong in Hainan. The law enforcement inspection of genetically modified crops in agriculture. A total of 107 sample crops were tested and tested. The results showed that 15 samples from 13 units were positive for genetically modified, and all of them were experimental research fields. There are 12 corns and 3 cottons. Among them, 9 test crops in 7 units have been destroyed by law under the supervision of the local agricultural law enforcement personnel, and properly handled and punished. Six suspected samples from the remaining six units are undergoing further inspection and verification.

On the evening of April 1, the Hainan Provincial Department of Agriculture issued a new statement stating that the law-breaking inspections were in violation of the GM research trial without authorization. There are significant differences between GM trials and illicit cultivation. During this law enforcement inspection, all the materials found were experimental materials.

Zhao Yuwang, spokesman of the Hainan Provincial Department of Agriculture, said that during the law enforcement inspections, no illegally cultivated crops have been found. So far, no pollution of agricultural genetically modified organisms has been found, and no reports of pollution from agricultural genetically modified organisms have been received. For the genetically modified test materials that have been confirmed to be illegal, they have been destroyed on the spot and the destruction has been notified on the information website of the Department of Agriculture. When the reporter asked whether it was possible to disclose which units or companies were in violation of the regulations, Zhao Zhaowang said "inconvenience to disclose."

It is difficult to estimate the inconvenience caused by violations of the organization, and the public can only see “mirror moon and water in the mirror”. The lack of a transparent and timely information disclosure mechanism has left the issue of genetic transformation into a “mystery”, and who will answer questions?

Food Logo: can print more small and more small, can not print not printed

In addition to experimentation and planting, the logo of genetically modified foods that are closer to people’s lives has also been difficult to implement. Reporters in Tianjin, Beijing and other places found that many GM foods sold on the market have unclear labeling. Some of the food labels made using genetically modified raw materials are “shameful”. The logo “can print more than small prints and can't be printed. The seal is not printed."

Previously exposed McDonald's admitted in Germany that the incident of feeding broiler chickens with genetically modified chicken feed has caused the public to question the issue of genetically modified markers.

According to reports, there are currently three types of regulations for the labeling of genetically modified products in the world: one is a voluntary label, and the other is a quantitative label, which is based on the content standard. Substandards may not be standard; while China currently implements mandatory Identity, which is a mandatory identity by directory.

The reporter learned that German regulations require that if genetically modified foods are used as raw material ingredients in foods, they must be clearly marked on the packaging. However, animal feed, an indirect use of genetically modified products, is a "loophole" in the regulations. This situation also exists in China. According to China's current regulations, livestock products raised on genetically modified feeds are not in the list of products that need to be identified.

Zhang Fengping, the deputy director of the Beijing Food and Drug Administration, said that in China, in addition to some of the requirements for food packaging in GM foods, the products provided by domestic catering companies have not been included in the scope of genetically modified annotations. The country has not yet established standards and needs to Units conduct research and development.

According to relevant officials of the Beijing Food and Drug Administration, at present, the Bureau has not received notification from the State Food and Drug Administration that McDonald's has been conducting inspections on genetically modified foods. In day-to-day market inspections and law enforcement, the Agency has almost never conducted inspections specifically targeting GM foods. Because the current "national standards for food safety pre-packaged food labeling" only stipulates: the labeling of genetically modified foods should comply with the relevant laws and regulations, such a simple and vague regulations, so that food and drug supervision departments can not start with law enforcement.

“Whether it is the experiment of genetically modified technology, the cultivation of genetically modified crops, or the identification of genetically modified foods, it is often closely related to the terms “secret” and “covert”. It seems that all those involved in genetically modified technologies have become 'underground work'.” A researcher working on genetically modified technologies Experts said worriedly.
