Cui Yongyuan: Americans Eat More Than 10 Years of Genetically Modified Foods
Original title: Cui Yongyuan: "Americans Are Assured They've Eaten Genetically Modified Foods for Over a Decade" – A Suspected Rumor
People's Daily, Beijing, October 25. According to the show "Cui Yongyuan: Telling the Truth," Cui recently traveled to the United States to investigate genetically modified foods. In his Weibo posts, he mentioned meeting over a dozen locals who expressed great interest in his investigation. Many Americans he spoke with were curious about the topic and hoped to learn more about it. Cui believes that if the people he met are representative of most Americans, then the claim that "Americans are assured they've eaten genetically modified foods for over ten years" is likely just a rumor. He pointed out that many of them don't even seem to understand what genetically modified food is.
Today, Cui visited a supermarket again. When looking at corn products, two stores clearly stated that their sweet corn is not genetically modified and has never been sold. As for the oil, a salesperson even pulled up Wikipedia on their phone and said, "We don’t sell this kind of oil." It was clear that the store had strict policies regarding genetically modified products.
One American interviewee emphasized that the U.S. has strict food safety regulations, which gives consumers confidence. However, when asked why Cui was investigating genetic modification on the streets instead of consulting official authorities, he responded that the information from government websites is too general and lacks detailed explanations.

People's Daily, Beijing, October 24. According to the show "Cui Yongyuan: Telling the Truth," Cui began his trip to the U.S. on October 21 to look into genetically modified foods. In his Weibo updates, he shared that in the U.S., at Walmart and other stores, there were no labels indicating whether the beans, tofu, or oils were genetically modified. The staff seemed unsure about the term "genetically modified" and even called in two others, who also admitted they had never heard of it.
Cui’s journey highlights the confusion and lack of awareness surrounding genetically modified foods among the general public in the U.S., despite the country's long history of consuming such products. His investigation continues to raise questions about how much the average American truly knows about the food they eat.
