What is the risk of GM foods?

According to the latest data from the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), from October 2013 to the present, more than one million tons of imported corn from the United States have been returned due to the detection of MIR162 genetically modified components that have not been approved by the Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China.

It is understood that MIR162 corn is a transgenic corn developed by Swiss Syngenta and is characterized by resistance to lepidopteran insects. This species was approved by the U.S. FDA as food and feed in 2008 and was approved for commercial planting by the US Department of Agriculture in 2010. It has also been approved by Taiwan, Brazil, Canada, Japan, South Korea, the European Union and other countries and regions. However, so far, China's Ministry of Agriculture has not yet approved it.

Michael Shakerman, biotechnology coordinator of the US Department of Agriculture’s Office, said in an interview with reporters in Beijing recently that more than 90% of corn grown in the United States is genetically modified. In 2012-2013, more than 90% of US corn production was consumed locally. "The main exporting countries are Mexico, Japan, China, Venezuela and Colombia. Most of them are used for feed. In 2013, 4 million tons of corn were exported to China."

Luo Yunbo, Dean of the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering at China Agricultural University, told reporters that currently, genetically modified corn is basically used for feed processing, and basically, there is no fresh corn in the market. "One is that imports have strict regulatory oversight, and the second is that corn varieties are very specialized. The corn used as a feed is taken to squeeze oil or fresh food. Both taste and price are uneconomical."

“The GM foods must pass strict safety evaluation and approval procedures before entering the market, and are more stringent than any previous food safety evaluation.” Luo Yunbo said that various international organizations, developed countries, and China have conducted a lot of scientific research and agreed that they have There is no food safety issue for listed genetically modified foods.

“The most successful commercialization in the United States is genetically modified soybeans, which has been around for nearly 20 years. Many Americans use the soybean oil made from genetically modified soybeans to bake and fry. So far, no safety problems have been found.” Michael Shaq Mann said that the U.S. exports of genetically modified agricultural products (quotations, medical consultations) are the same as those of locally-adopted genetically modified agricultural products.

Although the State stipulates that GM corn cannot be used for fresh food, GM rice must not be grown for sale, but it cannot be ruled out that some genetically modified foods have been abused or flowed into the market but they have not been labelled as required.

According to Peng Yufa, a researcher at the Institute of Plant Protection of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, prior to the 1990s, the lack of safety evaluation and regulatory management of transgenic technology at the time led to the outflow of some seeds. "The case of rice is a matter of history. If the seed is polluted, it may not be clean for many years."

"This is largely a regulatory issue, not a security issue." Luo Yunbo said that, for example, our imports of genetically modified soybeans are mostly large-scale refineries. The varieties are also high in oil content and are not suitable for the production of soy products. The possibility of a positive result is complex and may be due to LLP in transit. "It is very unlikely that merchants deliberately take GM soybeans to make tofu."
