Many genetically modified genes are mostly unmarked.
Papaya fresh milk juice, apricot stewed papaya, papaya scallops ... ... Old Cantonese love papaya, but few people know that most of the papaya that we eat is produced by transgenic technology. The reporter learned from the seminar on agricultural biotechnology held recently that the market is 89% papaya is a genetically modified papaya. According to the national regulations, genetically modified foods must be marked by producers and distributors. However, according to the survey, there are basically no logos for commercially available papayas, and there are gaps in the existing regulations. It seems that they cannot really control it!
Eighty-nine percent is genetically modified papaya
At a seminar on agricultural biotechnology held in Guangzhou recently, Huanong Professor Li Huaping gave a detailed introduction to the origin of Huanong I, a genetically modified papaya. Since 1999, Huanong No. 1 has passed the inspection process for 7 years and finally obtained a safety certificate in July 2006. Subsequently, Huanong No. 1 quickly commercialized. According to the statistics of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Agriculture, the proportion of this species in Guangdong in 2007 was 30%, and by the end of last year it had exceeded 95%. “In the Guangdong market, 89 Chengdu is Huanong I.†According to the person in charge of Huo Xing, Panyu District Agricultural Technology Extension Management Office, only a few Hainan-generated papayas are non-transgenic in Taiwan.
No logo or "law" tube
"Papaya also has GM?" The reporter interviewed a few people in random interviews yesterday afternoon. All of them said that they were unaware of the situation and had never seen signs in meat markets, supermarkets and other places. Most people only remember to see the genetic tips on soybean oil.
Genetically modified papayas are sold silently and have the potential to infringe consumers' right to know. However, the reporters found that this phenomenon does not appear to be "legal": inspections according to regulations of the "Regulations on the Administration of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms" promulgated by the State Council. "The sale of agricultural genetically modified organisms listed in the list of agricultural genetically modified organisms in the territory of the People's Republic of China should be obvious. The logo." However, the "catalogue" in the article has not been updated since the first batch was released in 2002. The five major categories of products involved do not include papaya.
The “Regulations on the Administration of Food Labeling†promulgated by the State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) stipulates that for genetically modified foods or products containing legal genetically modified raw materials, Chinese descriptions must be added to the labels. However, papaya is an agricultural product. From the farm to the table, the quality inspection department cannot insert it.
Feng Zhijia, a peasant farmer from Guangzhou Panyu Seagull Island, said that the large amount of papayas he plants is supplied to Hong Kong, and trading companies must use genetically modified signs before they can enter the market; however, local sales of papaya are not controlled, and agricultural departments at all levels in Guangzhou have not given any guidance.
