The Food and Drug Administration of Gansu Province issued the "Circular on the Trial Implementation of the Sale of Genetically Modified Food Counters" at the end of last year, requesting that counterfeit foods be sold through counters from March 1, 2014. Genetically modified foods and non-GM foods must not be mixed. After the New Deal was implemented for more than a month, how did the market respond?
consumer--
Most agree with the practice of setting up counters
The reporter recently found that six large and medium-sized supermarkets in Lanzhou City have found that green-white GM food cue cards have been set up, involving only edible oils and condiments containing genetically modified raw materials. Consumers have started to pay attention to GM foods, but most consumers do not understand GM foods. Consumers in favor of counter sales believe that they have the right to know whether the food on their table is using GM technology. Most citizens who choose to purchase genetically modified foods have chosen more reliable shopping malls and supermarkets.
At the Asian-European supermarket in the prosperous business district of Lanzhou, Ms. Zhang, who is currently purchasing edible oil, told reporters: “I’ll buy food now to see if there is a logo for genetically modified foods. Since the state requires genetically modified foods to have standardized identification on the packaging, It is also necessary to reflect the outstanding position in the supermarket sales area."
Walking into Beijing Hualian Store in Dongfanghong Square, Lanzhou, the reporter saw in the food area, and the merchants sold the GM foods as counters according to the notice requirements. “I never noticed that there was a non-transgenic and genetically modified edible oil. Now that the row of cooking oil is so prominent on the shelves, it begins to pay attention to the difference between transgenic and non-transgenic.†One is in the supermarket. The customer who bought edible oil said.
There are also consumers who disagree with the establishment of counter sales. Mr. Wang, who graduated from Southwest University's biological science specialty at Huanglou Store, a Vanguard supermarket in Lanzhou City, said: “My major in university studies is biology, so I am more comfortable with genetically modified foods. As long as the production companies are internationally accepted Clear identification of the practice is all right, and there is no need for special counters."
Supermarket -
High-end store sales of genetically modified edible oil fell by 80%
The reporter understands that at present, major supermarkets in all counties and districts in Lanzhou have basically realized sales of GM food zones or counters, and the 14 cities and counties of the province have also basically implemented sales requirements for counters.
In the Asia-Europe supermarket GM food sales area, the reporter found the words “processing raw material is genetically modified soybean oil†in a caption on the outer package of salad dressing. Zheng Lifang, deputy manager of Asia-Europe Supermarket, told reporters that the GM edible oils sold by counters before the supermarket had been sold out. Most of the genetically modified foods currently on display at counters are seasonings.
Manager Zheng frankly stated that after making counter-separation of "genetically modified products", sales of genetically modified edible oil fell by about 80%. "The biggest advantage of genetically modified foods is the price. Taking the same quality edible oil as an example, genetically modified edible oil can be as low as 30 yuan per barrel. Asia-Europe shopping malls are one of the high-end shopping centers in Lanzhou, and their consumer groups are higher in quality. The requirements are even higher," said Zheng.
Ms. Wang, Food Safety Supervisor at Hualian Supermarket Tianshui Road, said: “The number of genetically modified foods approved for sale in our supermarkets is small, mainly for edible oils. The supermarkets are mainly for general consumer groups, so the sales of genetically modified edible oils have been implemented for one month. There was no apparent decline."
“The trial period for the sale of GM food counters is relatively short, and we have not done a sales comparison, but the overall sales will not decline. Some consumers have a relatively vague concept of genetically modified products, especially middle-aged and old customers.†China Resources Vanguard Supermarket Huanglou Store Zhang Yurong, marketing manager, said.
“Some people believe that genetically modified foods are safe and reliable. Some people are reluctant to eat genetically modified foods, regardless of how they are certified, and they have no choice but to choose. It is everyone’s autonomy.†College of Food Science and Engineering, Gansu Agricultural University, Ji Jianmin The professor said.
“Consumers should have sufficient rights to know and choose genetically modified foods. Therefore, it is entirely up to the consumer to decide whether to buy, choose, or not choose genetically modified foods. The establishment of special zones and counters is to respect consumer’s right to know and choose. Author: Zhang Lanzhou, Director of Food Distribution Supervision Department of Gansu Food and Drug Administration, said in an interview.
