GMF (Genetically Modified Food, GMF) refers to the use of genetically engineered (transgenic) technology embedded in the (different species) in the genomes of the foreign gene foods. including genetically modified plant foods, genetically modified animal food and genetically modified micro-organisms in food.
GMF (Genetically Modified Foods, GMF) is the use of modern molecular biology techniques, the genes of certain organisms to be transferred to other species, the transformation of biological genetic material to make it in shape, nutritional quality, consumer quality and other aspects of the people goal requires change. To genetically modified organisms as a direct food or as raw materials for food processing is the "genetically modified food." GM food is the use of technology to create new products, but also a new thing. it is natural to eat GM food safety in doubt.
Our country for GM food attitudes and opinions:
GM food appeared from 1993 to now only 10 years, have not been long-term safety study, there are still many uncertain factors:
1. antibiotic resistant gene technology to identify genes of transgenic crops, after GM foods into the body may affect the efficacy of antibiotics on humans, crops mutated gene may lead to new disease;
2. a protein in transgenic technology transfer may cause the body had not food allergies are allergic to the new post-split protein traits reorganization is fully in line with our vision needs to be verified;
3. artificial refining and adding genes may increase and any original trace toxins accumulate food, unforeseen biological mutation will even improve the original toxin levels, or create new toxins;
4. For the ecosystem, genetically modified food is to intervene in a particular species, man-made and thus obtain a competitive advantage in the living environment, which will make the natural law of survival timeliness damaged, causing changes in the ecological balance, and the genes of the organism , bacteria, viruses, etc. into the environment, preservation or restoration is not possible, its more chemical or nuclear pollution, harm is irreversible.
Therefore. we recommend:
First. to improve the safety of GM food policies, and regulations.
Second. control or limit plant breeding area of transgenic animals or plants.
Third. the protection of consumer food safety, enhance consumers' right to know and to choose.
Fourth. please make a clear identification of genetically modified foods.
Five. please comprehensive ban on imports of US genetically modified food.Up toUp to
