According to @中国声音 on December 19, Zhang Taolin, vice minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, responded yesterday morning to the Ministry of Agriculture’s canteen not eating GMOs, saying: Everyone is concerned about the issue of GMOs.Questions about whether we eat genetically modified food in our cafeteria, or do we have special food in our cafeteria?As far as I know, we don't have a special supply channel. We buy from the market just like everyone else.
Zhang Taolin emphasized that transgenic technology is the cutting-edge technology of modern biotechnology. Both scientific principles and long-term practice, especially the long-term follow-up and evaluation results of international authoritative organizations, have shown that the safety of genetically modified technology is controllable and valid.Guaranteed.
Zhang Taolin said that international organizations such as the Codex Alimentarius Commission and the World Health Organization have also formulated internationally recognized standards and rules for the safety evaluation of genetically modified products to ensure that genetically modified products that pass the safety evaluation are approved for marketing.
It does not add additional risk beyond the addition of specific functions that we expect or expect, such as insect resistance, herbicide resistance, and drought resistance.This has a set of scientific authority and strict safety evaluation procedures.
Our country’s approach to the development of GMOs is consistent and clear, that is, we must be bold in research, insist on independent innovation, prudent and prudent in promotion, ensure safety, and strictly follow the law in management.
my country has established a safety evaluation committee for genetically modified products.This committee is composed of interdisciplinary and interdepartmental authoritative experts recommended and selected by relevant national ministries and commissions to ensure that my country's genetically modified safety evaluation is scientific, standardized, rigorous and authoritative.
Generally speaking, we will conduct active research, prudent application, and strict management with a highly responsible attitude towards the people, to promote the healthy development of genetically modified products, and to better benefit mankind with science and technology and enhance the well-being of the people.
