The trademark identification of genetically modified food refers to the identification of food, feed and other related products containing genetically modified ingredients.
According to the Administrative Measures on Labeling of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture since 22, 17 products in five categories need to be labeled:
1. Soybean seeds, soybeans, soybean flour, soybean oil and soybean meal;
2. Corn seeds, corn, corn oil and corn flour (corn flour with tax numbers of 1122, 11313 and 11423);
3. Rapeseed, rapeseed, rapeseed oil and rapeseed meal;
4. Cotton seeds;
5. Tomato seeds, fresh tomatoes and ketchup.
for example, if the soybean oil on the market is processed from genetically modified soybeans, it needs to be marked as "processed products of genetically modified soybeans (finished products)" or "processed raw materials are genetically modified soybeans" on the packaging of the products. If the soybeans on the market are genetically modified, they need to be labeled as "genetically modified soybeans".
Extended information:
Because China only approved the commercial cultivation of transgenic cotton and papaya, and approved the import of transgenic corn, soybean, rape, beet and cotton for processing raw materials. Therefore, most of the foods marked genetically modified in the market are edible oils, mainly soybean oil, rapeseed oil and blended oil.
In addition, if soybean oil, soybean powder, corn oil and rapeseed oil used in the products sold contain genetically modified ingredients, the products produced as processing raw materials should also be marked, and the trademark logo of genetically modified foods protects consumers' right to know to some extent.
