In order to unify the standards for evaluating the safety of genetically modified foods, the International Food Regulations Committee under FAO and WHO has also decided to formulate international safety standards for genetically modified foods.

The former State Science and Technology Commission formulated the Measures for the Safety Management of Genetic Engineering in China, and then the Ministry of Agriculture formulated the Measures for the Safety Management of Agricultural Genetic Engineering on this basis, and at the same time established the Agricultural Bioengineering Safety Committee to be responsible for the safety examination and approval of agricultural bio-genetic engineering bodies nationwide.

In October, 2114, the Ministry of Agriculture sent a letter to the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, asking for strengthening the management of advertisements involving genetically modified organisms. On October 9th, CCTV advertising department official Wei said that it was forbidden to use misleading advertising words such as "healthier and safer" in non-GMO advertisements.

We will strengthen the review of advertisements for genetically modified and non-genetically modified products. Among them, there are no advertisements for crops commercially planted with genetically modified varieties, such as rice, peanuts and their processed products, and the use of non-genetically modified advertising words is prohibited in China and the world.

For the advertisements of soybeans, rape and other products and their processed products that have been commercialized by genetically modified varieties, it is forbidden to use words with non-genetically modified effects, such as misleading advertising words such as healthier and safer, in addition to collecting certification materials as required. ?

Development prospect of genetically modified crops:

Like anything new in the world, the development of genetically modified crops will never be smooth sailing, but the future is still bright.

first, contrary to the world situation, the planting area of genetically modified crops in the United States is still growing. The content of tryptophan in transgenic corn is increased by 21%, and tryptophan is an essential amino acid for human body; The content of unsaturated fatty acids in transgenic rapeseed increased obviously, which was beneficial to cardiovascular system. Transgenic milk increases the content of lactoferrin and disease-resistant factors, while the fat content decreases.

Second, the world's genetically modified crops have persuaded almost all national governments and world organizations to support this biotechnology which is under intense controversy.

thirdly, with the continuous improvement of biotechnology, a new variety of genetically modified crops will definitely appear in a few years, which can bring great benefits to both farmers and consumers. Future transgenic crops (such as "golden rice") can also help people solve the problems of protein, vitamin and iron deficiency. In the face of real benefits, consumers around the world may gradually accept genetically modified crops.

fourthly, relevant laws in the world strengthen the management of genetically modified crops, but they are not absolutely prohibited. The uniqueness of all countries in the world lies in that the fundamental purpose of strengthening management is to ensure the healthy and orderly development of genetically modified crops.
