The topic of genetically modified foods has been a hot topic. How do other countries view GM foods? People have many questions and there are some rumors. To this end, Xinhua News Agency reporters surveyed a number of countries around the world, including both the "base camp" of genetically modified foods and the skeptical France of genetic modification. But in general, the general trend is clear: the gravity of GM is greater than the resistance.
There is no dispute
One of the focuses of the debate over genetically modified foods is whether they can be listed safely. In the countries surveyed by reporters, none of them banned the marketing of GM foods. Genetically modified foods are no longer available or absent, but are more or less.
Among the countries surveyed by the reporter, the "friendliness" of genetically modified foods are: the United States, Canada, Brazil, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, and Kenya. Among them, North America is a "base camp" for genetic transformation. The United States is the world's largest producer of genetically modified crops. Canada and the United States do not need any labeling of genetically modified foods. North Americans have already consumed large quantities of genetically modified foods through supermarkets, restaurants and other means.
In France, which has always been skeptical about genetically modified foods, the government has twice ordered the ban on the commercial cultivation of a genetically modified crop in the country. Both bans were quickly invalidated by the French Supreme Administrative Court, but the French Ministry of Agriculture still stated that the government will insist Does not support the consistent position of GM crops. In spite of this, there are more than 30 genetically modified foods on the shelves of French supermarkets, as more than 40 GM crops are allowed to be imported into the EU.
In other countries between the two poles, GM foods are allowed to be marketed, but the labeling requirements for genetically modified foods are different. For example, in the United Kingdom, to comply with strict EU regulations, mandatory labeling is required when the transgene content exceeds 0.9% in foods, while the Japanese limit is 5% and Russia is 9%. In Brazil, as long as the genetically modified components are excipients, they may not be labeled.
Gravitation is hard to resist
In the discussion of genetically modified foods in various countries, several attitudes are worthy of attention: the scientific community is almost unanimously supportive, and people are skeptical, and the government often has more concerns.
The scientific community has no doubt about the safety of genetically modified foods. Some of the so-called “genetically harmful†research results were quickly pointed out under the authority's investigation. For example, the researcher of the University of Caen in France Seralini’s paper on the genetic loss caused by genetically modified corn has attracted a lot of attention, but the French Biotechnology Supreme Committee and the National Health and Safety Administration believe that there are many deficiencies in this study, and finally the French Ministry of Agriculture also It is acknowledged that Séralini’s argument is not sufficient to overturn the previously “non-hazardous†assessment of genetically modified corn.
However, people always have some doubts. A poll conducted by France in 2012 showed that 79% of people expressed concern about genetically modified products; about 80% of people in the UK are still reluctant to accept genetically modified foods; some Russian media have linked genetically modified organisms to alien species and aliens; Japan People also think "can't tell." In the United States’ "base camp" of GM, a New York Times survey said that 26% of people believe GM foods are not safe.
Among various governments, although Russia has questioned many people for genetic modification, the Minister of Agriculture Fedorov said in January this year that he would revise the relevant management laws. Public opinion generally believes that the government wants to give green light to genetically modified foods. The UK is in the EU. It has to be restricted by some EU regulations promoted by France and other "reversal genes". However, Peterson, Britain's Minister of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, has repeatedly stated that it is necessary to support the development of genetically modified organisms and expressed concern about the EU's backwardness in the development of GM crops.
Academic support, public suspicion, and the government’s desire to develop genetic modification are also concerns. This is typical of many countries today. In response, Anthony Chitham, vice president of the Royal Society of England, told Xinhua News Agency reporters that this difference between academic consensus and public attitudes still requires the scientific community to continue to strengthen research and make more convincing conclusions. However, most countries are gradually attracted by GM technology.
