International Experience with Genetically Modified Foods and China's Countermeasures
The development and application of genetically modified technology in food has largely solved the real difficulties such as food crisis and energy shortage caused by population explosion and ecological environment deterioration.By summarizing the mature experience and characteristics of the United States,the European Union and Japan in the labeling system,management methods,safety assessment mechanism,and approval and licensing system of genetically modified foods,this paper analyzes the development status of genetically modified foods in China,explores the drawbacks in food safety,environmental safety,regulatory management system,and labeling system,and combines international mature experience with China's national conditions to actively explore relevant countermeasures suitable for China's genetically modified foods.It also puts forward targeted solutions to improve the safety assurance system,strengthen ecological and environmental awareness,improve the supervision and management system,and improve the labeling system.
