Genetically modified (转基因的)foods have become a focus point of agriculture throughout the news today.This has an effect on many different aspects of the agriculture world.From the seed dealer,to the farmer that buys the seed,to the workers that the farmer sells grains to,all are affected by the new technologies that are involved in this part of production agriculture.
Genetically modified foods have come under heavy fire lately.There are some countries that are against buying these types of foods.They are being tested for safety by the best scientific experts in Europe,the US and the rest of the world.They are not for sale until they have gone through this complete safety process.Since they are new products,and any slight problem with them could affect a whole country,these tests are very necessary.
These safety tests are carried out because of the new rules that were made with the Novel Foods Regulation.Begun in May of 1997,the Novel Foods Regulation set up an EU-wide pre-market system for all novel foods.A novel food is described as one that has not been eaten by EU consumers widely in the past.By setting up this program the EU hopes to keep its consumers safe from any possible side effects of any new food products.
There are a variety of ways in which genetic modification has helped food producers.They can improve the nutritional value or the storage conditions of the food.Today there are only two genetically modified foods that have been allowed for use—these are GM soybean and GM maize.
