GMO rice: "Golden Rice" developed by the University of Miami, "Golden Rice" developed by the University of California, "Bt Rice" by Monsanto, and "Provitamin A Rice" by Sanofi. Monsanto's "Bt rice" and Sanofi's "Provitamin A rice".

Currently, the commercial cultivation of GM rice in China has not been approved, so most of the GM rice sold in the market is imported. Safety is the foundation and prerequisite for the industrialization of genetically modified varieties, and genetically modified products have to undergo scientific, comprehensive and rigorous evaluation of food safety and environmental safety before they are put on the market, and those that have been approved are safe.

China's GM safety evaluation is the responsibility of the National Committee on Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms Safety, which consists of authoritative experts recommended by multiple departments from all over the country in multiple fields such as agriculture, science and technology, health and wellness, ecology and environment, inspection and quarantine.

China's safety evaluation takes reference from the international practice and is conducted in different stages in accordance with the requirements of national laws, regulations, standards and norms, and any problem found at any stage that may affect health and environmental safety will immediately terminate the research and development test, and will not enter into the industrialization process.

Division standards

1. Plant-based genetically modified food. The so-called plant-based genetically modified food refers to genetically modified food made from plants containing genetically modified material.

2, animal genetically modified food. The so-called animal genetically modified food, refers to the genetically modified food containing genetically modified animals as raw materials. Animal genetically modified food, mainly the use of embryo transplantation technology to cultivate fast growth rate, disease resistance, good meat quality animals or animal products.

3, microbial genetically modified food. The so-called microbial genetically modified food, refers to genetically modified food containing genetically modified microorganisms as raw materials. Genetically modified microbial food, mainly the use of microbial interactions, the cultivation of a series of new species that are beneficial to humans.
