What are the common genetically modified foods in supermarkets? 10

Genetically modified soybean oil. This is relatively common. In fact, there will be a mark on the label of the product, because the state forces the manufacturer of genetically modified raw materials to mark on the label.

Genetically modified soybeans, but there is no harm that has not been proven.

1. Papaya, more than 95% of the papayas sold on the market are, which may be beyond the imagination of many people.

2. Soybeans and soybean products (including soybean oil) are soaked.

3. Some rice and rice: Hubei is the sales area that has obtained the legal planting right of genetically modified rice in China, and we should be wary of slender and bright rice. It is easy to be confused with the Northeast "long-grain incense".

4. Corn and corn oil: In 2011, the proportion of domestic genetically modified cotton planting was as high, and there were too many domestic genetically modified cotton varieties approved in China, at least hundreds.

5. Rapeseed and rapeseed oil: Genetically modified rapeseed has a high oil yield, and the current state has confirmed that it is yellow seed rapeseed Yuhuang No. 1 and No. 2.

6. Chinese cabbage: Fu Randou Youshan Dabaotou, which is a cabbage variety that has been confirmed by the state to contain genetically modified organisms.

According to statistics, by the beginning of 1999, the United States Department of Agriculture had approved the production of 35 kinds of genetically modified crops in seven categories, including 5 kinds of late-maturing tomatoes, 2 kinds of soybeans that are tolerant to herbicides, 1 kind of rapeseed with increased laurate, 2 kinds of insect-resistant potatoes, 6 kinds of corn that are resistant to insects and herbicides, and 2 kinds of disease-resistant papaya. These two papayas alone saved the U.S. Hawaiian papaya industry. China has approved four items for commercial production, including the genetically modified cucumber mosaic virus (CMV)-resistant tomato "8805R" and the cucumber mosaic virus (CMV)-resistant bell pepper "Shuangfeng R" bred by Peking University.

Genetically modified foods include: bell peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, corn, rice, milk, rapeseed oil, apples, papaya, soybeans, etc. Genetically modified food refers to the strain of genetically modified organisms obtained by using genetically modified biotechnology, and the food produced by using the genetically modified organism as direct food or as raw materials is called genetically modified food.

However, all genetically modified products that have passed the legal approval have been verified by systematic and standardized food safety inspections, and are safe for human health.

Genetically modified food has many advantages: it can increase crop yield, reduce production costs, enhance the ability of crops to resist pests and viruses, improve the storage resistance of agricultural products, shorten the time of crop development, get rid of the four seasons, break the boundaries of species, and constantly cultivate new species to produce food that is conducive to human health.

There is also controversy about genetically modified foods: the so-called increase in production is not affected by the environment, and if there is a natural disaster such as rain and snow, the yield may be reduced even more. At the same time, in the cultivation process, genetically modified crops may evolve into weeds in farmland. It is possible to affect other species through genetic drift.

According to the different functions of genetically modified foods in food, it can be roughly divided into the following six types: 1. genetically modified foods with increased yield; 2. Genetically modified food of controlled cooking; 3. Health-care genetically modified food; 4. Processed genetically modified food; 5. High-nutrient genetically modified food; 6. New varieties of genetically modified foods.

Papaya

95% of the papaya in the Chinese market is genetically modified, because papaya will encounter a bad spot virus when growing naturally, if infected with this virus, papaya will most likely have no particles, and the probability of papaya encountering this virus is particularly high, so if it is not genetically modified, it may be difficult to see the shadow of papaya in our Chinese market.

Corn

The use of genetically modified technology can increase the yield of corn and reduce the harm of spraying pesticides. Genetically modified corn: sweet and crunchy, plump, with a beautiful body shape, and a head and tail about the size of the tail.

Soybeans

9% of the soybeans on the market are genetically modified soybeans. Simply from the appearance of the soybeans, genetically modified soybeans are round and round, while natural soybeans are oval in shape and a little flat. We can test with water, natural soybeans will sprout after soaking them in water for 3 days, and genetically modified soybeans will not sprout, but will only swell a little.

Genetically modified foods are papaya, fruit corn, cherry tomatoes, red dragon fruit, cotton, etc.

1. Papaya. 95% of papaya is genetically modified, because when papaya grows naturally, it will encounter a virus called bad class virus, and if infected with this virus, most of the melons will not be harvested.

2. Fruit corn.

Through the crossing between early-maturing yellow-grained hard corn and white sweet corn, the resulting food contains round and rich protein, vitamins are higher than ordinary corn nutrients, and in addition to the selenium content in it.

3. Cherry tomatoes.

Cherry tomatoes are actually the small tomatoes we usually see, its taste is similar to the tomatoes we usually eat, but it is much smaller than tomatoes, in fact, it is not a genetically modified fruit, but it is also a kind of tomato.

4. Red heart dragon fruit.

Generally, it is more common to grow red heart dragon fruit in Taiwan, China, and the nutrition of red heart dragon fruit is higher than that of white heart dragon fruit.

5. Tomatoes. Genetically modified tomatoes were successfully developed and gradually industrialized. At present, there are no genetically modified tomatoes on the market in North America and Europe, and they are also in the stage of safety testing in China.
