"The practice of genetically modified labels to manage' negative labels' is not allowed in some countries, because it will mislead consumers and cause unfair competition." Chen Tianyu said that China allows "negative labeling", but if a genetically modified product has not been developed internationally, it should not be labeled. At present, genetically modified peanuts have not come out.

It is unreasonable for merchants to join the market competition with the concept of "non-GMO". He said that the "negative label" of peanut oil is misleading to consumers, but it is not illegal because there is no such regulation in China at present. For this unfair competition means of merchants, it needs self-discipline management in the industry, and at the same time, the society gives supervision and is responsible for correcting it.

Extended data:

According to the relevant national regulations, it should be clearly marked "genetically modified" to remind consumers, but in the field of edible oil, this phenomenon is just the opposite. In the industry's view, the existence of the above phenomenon is closely related to industry competition. Chen Tianyu, a researcher in the food industry of China Commercial Information Network Industry Research Institute, said that genetic modification is a hot topic in the society at present.

There are different opinions about the harmfulness of genetically modified products. People can say that this color change is very resistant to genetically modified foods. With the help of this social trend, Lu Hua is developing a "non-genetically modified" concept oil, which has won the hearts of the market and is of great help to its market share. At present, peanut oil alone accounts for about 9% of the edible oil market in Lu Hua.
