Non-GMO raw materials, us high profile publicity.


Genetically modified food labeling on the Shenzhen market confusion


"GM does not identify can be fined 100,000" will be submitted for consideration


Washington (reporter Pan Bo, Yu Qin photo coverage) closed open solicitation of views, called the ecological civilization in Shenzhen the "Basic Law" regulations of the Shenzhen Special economic zone on construction of ecological civilization (draft) (hereinafter the draft) will be held later this month for the first time the NPC for consideration. Among them, this article does not identify genetically modified foods fined 100,000 yuan, in tangled out the pros and cons of genetically modified food, food safety in today's high, attracted the most attention.


Yesterday field visits found that Shenzhen market genetically modified food labeling chaos: the non-GM identity characters in a notable position; GM logo low profile hidden in the list of ingredients; many may involve genetically modified foods did not make a clear identification of the raw material.


Requires a clear identification of policy and public opinion expect genetically modified foods "coming out" under pressure, GM identified fall into the "laws" the dilemma of reality; this was intended to clarify the rights and responsibilities of ecological civilization, clear punishments "Basic Law", and has high hopes for the various sectors of the community.


 Site visits:



GM logo is very low key


Reporter yesterday came to road, Luohu district, Huang beiling a large chain supermarket survey found, from soybean, and corn, material to various processing production of edible oil, again to bean, and soy sauce, and bean milk, Terminal manufactures, may involving GM of whole food chain rendering out non-GM identifies "makeup", tall conspicuous, GM identifies "pigment yan show", hidden more deep of phenomenon, and in many Terminal manufactures in the, most products also does not clear said its material whether GM.


In a layer of oil monopoly district, blend oil, peanut oil, corn germ oil, sunflower seed oil, and so on all kinds of oils available. Reporters observed that most of the oil is "non-GM" logo. To further attract the eye, some identifying the location in a large font in bottles marked, some with colored substrates made of fancy designs, more even directly awarded products labeled "non-GMO" real ornaments.


By contrast, GM logo is nowhere to be seen. After several inquiries and find, a reporter in a brand of cooking oil were found in the list of ingredients, "raw GM soy", "raw GM canola" and other words and the font and other food producing area, producing date, product standard number font is, there is no comparison with the non-GM identity.


In addition, apart from the recently introduced a special policy specifications of soy products may be at the point of packaging clearly "non-GM soy" identity, the other more common cake, soy sauce, fermented bean curd, cookies, soy milk powder, clearly labeled ingredients in foods that contain oil or soy ingredients, have largely not been marked clearly whether GM.


Soy sauce, for example, reporters roughly 30% soy products could not be marked as raw material for "non-GMO soy", rest more than two-thirds products labeled "soy", "soybean", etc; also, selling raw beans, maize flour and other products indicating their origin, price, stock number and other information, related staff also said it is unclear whether GM products.


Consumer surveys:



70% not to buy "GMO"


Yesterday 15 consumers access immediately at the scene, 11 were clear they will not buy GM foods, there are 2 said that can not be generalized, and 2 people who don't pay attention to this problem.


"GM I don't know much about, but the State has been allowed to sell, it should be no big problem. "Mr TIEN noted that are shopping for cooking oil, rarely see identity is genetically modified, most are identified as non-GMO, Dick himself was not sure," the sunflower oil also said non-GM, sunflower seeds have genetically modified it? I only know of GM soybean oil. "Another Zhang, said he normally does not choose genetically modified soybean oil, but it is not entirely because of safety concerns, including eating habits, such as.


"Really not very easy to find, but even did not know the true and false. "Aunt Lee said at this supermarket, even if mark non-GM products, what real people do not know. Lists all possible after hopes that the Government can investigate whether genetically modified raw materials and product list, "let the people at a glance, the protection of the right to, make your own choice. ”


Shenzhen Polytechnic College of applied chemistry and biotechnology released in 2013, Shenzhen residents identified on genetically modified food and its cognitive investigation and analysis, according to the GM label identifies the greater impact on the sale of genetically modified food, 67% of the consumers said they would not buy products bearing genetically engineered food labeling.


"Do you think the Government should identify the right attitude to genetically modified foods and label" investigation, 65.33% said the Government should step up publicity and inform consumers about its pros and cons. 26.67% of the consumers believe that the Government should step up supervision of genetically modified food labeling, 6.67% consumers think we should let the market decide, only 1.33% of the consumers said they don't know.


 Deep market genetically modified foods have?



A report showed very low share


What is the Shenzhen market current status of genetically modified raw materials and food? Relevant departments did not give a clear answer. But according to Shenzhen disease prevention Control Center last year in China health quarantine magazine gradually released for Shenzhen GM crop of market research report, city CDC Yu 2005, and 2006, and 2011 and the 2012 in Shenzhen each big supermarket and the agricultural batch market sampling rice samples, are not seized out GM samples; 2012 total detection sample soybean 29 copies, bean 57 copies total 86 copies samples, are not seized out GM samples.


In addition, in 2004, for 2011 and 2012 Shenzhen market genetically modified maize and its products, market share, and 1.72%, and 7.21%, respectively. Centers for disease control and Prevention believes that genetically modified corn and processed products in Shenzhen market share is still very low, 8 years Shenzhen market share from GM maize has no obvious upward trend in market circulation of transgenic rice in security, overall security, but need to be more vigilant and strengthen inspection and supervision and management.


  Dialog



"Striking is that could be identified at a glance"


A few days ago, lawyer Xu Silong against genetically modified food labeling is not clear and no significant launch legal action, joined the action and solidarity with the people of the country have now reached 84 people, 70 of whom are lawyers, yesterday is unclear GM logo enterprises access to the courts. Reporters yesterday some hot issues on the legislation of genetically modified food interviewed Xu Silong.


  Proposed legislation marks "bold" standardization


Guangzhou daily: GM labeling prescribed by law to the eye-catching, but does not explicitly, how do you define "smart" standards?


Xu Silong: striking is to at first glance can be identified, rather than only half visible. Of the regulations on administration of agricultural genetically modified organism safety under the State Council and the Ministry of agriculture management way of agricultural transgenic biological mark, which provides that genetically modified foods should be "indicated on product labels visible" logo should "significantly" and "bold".


But the country now is the food labeling regulations, food or their packaging when the maximum surface area greater than 20 square centimeters, compulsory tagging the content in food labeling, words, symbols, and numbers not less than 1.8 mm in height. 1.8 mm what is the concept? Slightly more coarse than the hair, I think the law conflict with the provisions of this standard and bold.


I proposed legislation to make the bold standard quantization: that is, not less than half of the brand name.


"Now there is a strange phenomenon in the market: is the identification of the non-GMO countries did not request, but was particularly large, and genetically modified foods countries required, but very little. If you do not mark or false labeling, are serious acts of fraud. ”


  Shenzhen legislative punishment great


Guangzhou daily: August 13, Shenzhen proposed legislation on genetically modified food for the first time in the country identify unclear to give 50,000 fine of ~10 million. How to see the punishment standards?


Xu Silong: Shenzhen legislative penalties for GM identifies unknown is large, compared to a heavier penalty fine of 10,000 ~5 million yuan of State Council Ordinance, endorsed legislation in Shenzhen.


At present, the national laws on genetically modified identifies the provisions in question is not obvious, such as "correction", "confiscation of illegal products," "confiscated", "punishable by fine of 10,000 ~5 million Yuan," but from the 2002 legislation has across the country without penalty for a case, need now is to implement the regulations, the real implementation.


 Monitor blank



Identifies the current "laws" urgent new laws to clarify rights and responsibilities


According to the GM food health regulations, foods containing genetically modified organisms or product, be clearly marked "GM foods" or "with genetically modified foods as raw materials"; genetically modified foods in bulk must be set the price tag or otherwise indicated on the sign.


In June of this year, the State Council issued the 2014 food safety focus of work arrangements also proposes to regulate the use of genetically modified food labeling; starts this month, the Shenzhen soy products quality safety supervision and management regulations also noted that genetically modified soybean production bean products must be labeled prominently in the packaging law, but other related food products there are no relevant provisions.


Despite tremendous Act, but the market situation is satisfactory. What functions and departments? Shenzhen's economic and Trade Commission responded yesterday said that issues related to genetically modified raw materials ID reply to review, as of press time, and haven't yet received a reply. However, the Committee through a letter, officials said, the Board is mainly aimed at the Agriculture Department's agricultural bio-safety regulation, including agricultural production, processing and other aspects of regulation, regulation does not fall within the scope of its functions of the GM logo.


 GM food regulation



Still not in the food and drug administration mandates


Shenzhen food and drug administration official yesterday to respond to reporters said the work on the regulation of genetically modified raw materials, food products and identify previously vested in the jurisdiction of the Ministry of agriculture, then into economic and Trade Committee, Shenzhen City, not in the purview of the food and drug administration, "there is no appropriate terms of reference, you cannot legally to investigate the market. "The official said, at present, the food and Drug Administration did not have lists which may involve genetically modified ingredients of food. According to the NPC for consideration the draft law for the first time later this month, the production and sale of plants genetically modified foods or foods containing GMO ingredients in plants, genetically modified foods for the record to the Department of food safety administration, and posting of genetically modified food labeling on food packages.


"The legislative branch to clarify rights and responsibilities is a priority. "The police official said, the draft refers to" departments of food safety administration "refers to the current municipal food and drug supervision Bureau," as the law was finally adopted and implemented, it will clarify the current regulations governing the rights and duties of countless problems, we may have a legal basis to investigate regulation. ”


NPC Deputy Yang Jianchang, said: "standards are not high for up to 100,000 dollars, I think that not only should the punishment, also have to blacklist illegal enterprise! ”
