基因改造食品不用贴上标签， 把大家当做试验品？？？


轉基因食品惹爭議

Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore - FAQs:

1.Are GM foods available in Singapore?
GM corn and soybean, which have been approved in many countries including the USA, Canada, Australia and member countries of the European Union, are very likely incorporated into various processed foods. Since we import food from these countries, it is possible that such foods are sold here in Singapore. However, these foods are safe for consumption because they are regulated like any other foods in meeting the same, if not more, rigorous safety standards.

转基因玉米和大豆，已在包括美国，加拿大，澳大利亚和欧洲联盟成员国的许多国家的批准，很可能成各种加工食品中。由于我们从这些国家进口食品，它有可能出售这些食品在新加坡。然而，这些食品可安全食用，因为它们喜欢在会议上同任何其他食品监管，如果不是更严格的安全标准。

4. Why are foods produced from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) not labelled in Singapore?
GM food labelling is a complex issue and so far, international consensus has yet been reached. The Codex Alimentarius Commission, the international food standard body, is currently working on this issue.  GMAC has also set up a subcommittee to monitor international developments on the matter and to formulate a labelling regime that will be both practical and meaningful.  Meanwhile, it is not accepted by most countries that labelling is not for food safety reasons but to provide consumers with choice.  While the labelling debate continues internationally, GMAC and AVA will work to ensure that GM foods commercially available are safe for consumption.

基因改造食物标签是一个复杂的问题，到目前为止，国际共识尚未达成。食品法典委员会，国际食品标准机构，目前正在就这一问题。 GMAC的还成立了一个小组委员会，以监察有关问题的国际形势，并制订了标签制度，会因实际和有意义的。同时，它不接受多数国家的食品标签，是不是安全原因，但消费者提供选择。虽然标志的辩论将继续在国际上，GMAC和AVA将努力确保转基因食品商业化的消费安全。

其中一段：

国家如何管理转基因食品？
各国政府管理转基因食品的方式各不相同。在一些国家，尚未对转基因食品进行管理。已制定法规的国家主要着重于对消费者健康的风险评估。一般说来，已对转基因食品制定规定的国家通常还管理转基因生物，并顾及健康和环境风险以及与控制和贸易有关的问题（如潜在检测和标签制度）。鉴于关于转基因食品辩论的动力，立法可能会继续发展。

意思是指一个好的政府必须要对转基因食品进行严格管理。
我国政府迟迟还没管制，恐怕是受到来自‘国外’的施压吧？

馬來西亞農業研究及發展研究所研究員陳春生博士針對《大都會》早前有關基因改造食物的報道指出，隨著科學技術的發展與進步，科學家們開始應用現代生物技術來研發“特性改良”的基因改造生物，目的是改善消費者的生活素質及農民的收入。

他說，基因改造通常是用在增加農作物對昆蟲或病毒的抵抗力，或增強對農藥的耐性，以節省農業生產成本及提高產量，並增加或改善食品中的營養成份。

陳春生指出，大馬目前唯一引進的基因改造農作物，是從美國進口的黃豆，其他在國外市場可找到的番茄、玉米、黃金米等，都未進入大馬。

Will foods produced from GMOs carry special labels in Singapore?

There are currently no legislations and guidelines for the labelling of GM foods in Singapore.

                       

GM food labelling is a complex issue. It has implications on food imports, food prices, trade, practicality of enforcement etc. International consensus on GM food labelling has not yet been reached.  The Codex Alimentarius, the world's authority on food safety and labelling, continues its work on the issue. The Codex Committee on Food Labelling (CCFL) is examining the various facets of the GM food labelling issue to come up with an internationally accepted position on the issue. Singapore, being a member of Codex, is working with other countries in the CCFL on the matter. GMAC has also set up a subcommittee to monitor relevant international developments and to help formulate a national position on the GM labelling issue that will be in line with international standards.

                       

Meanwhile, it is  accepted by most countries that GM labelling is not for food safety reasons but to provide consumers with choice.  Although the AVA’s current food regulations do not require GM food to be specially labelled, GM foods, like all other food products, must meet existing food labelling requirements with regard to ingredient listing and information to facilitate tracing and recall. The local authorities will work to ensure that GM foods commercially available in Singapore are safe for consumption, and will also continue to monitor international developments closely to ensure that Singapore's  labelling requirements are up to date.

目前没有立法和为在新加坡基因改造食品标签指导方针。

基因改造食物标签是一个复杂的问题。这对进口食品，食品价格，贸易，强制执行等实用性就基因改造食物标签问题国际共识尚未达成。食品法典，世界对粮食安全和标签的权威，在这个问题上继续其工作。对食品标签（冷阴极管）法典委员会正在研究的基因改造食物标签问题的各个方面来对这个问题有一个国际公认的境地。新加坡作为一个食品法典委员会的成员，正在与其他国家的CCFL的问题。 GMAC的还成立了一个小组委员会，以监察有关国际发展情况，并帮助制定一项有关基因改造食品标签的问题，将与国际标准接轨的国家立场。

同时，它是大多数国家所接受，通用汽车标签是不是食品安全原因，但消费者提供选择。虽然Ava的现行食品法规不要求转基因食品必须特别标记，转基因食品，像所有其他食品，必须符合现行的有关食品标签的成分列表和信息要求，以便追踪和召回。地方当局将努力确保转基因食品在新加坡商业可用消费安全，并会继续监察国际事态发展密切合作，确保新加坡的标签要求是最新的。

Agriculture
Currently, more than thirty-five varieties of GM fish have been developed  around the world

Some GM fish are being developed to grow faster,  resist disease, and tolerate different temperatures.                       At least one company, Aqua Bounty Farms, is currently requesting approval from  the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to market its GM salmon for food. Aqua  Bounty Farms' GM salmons can grow to more than three times larger than normal  salmons within the first year of growth.

一些正在开发转基因鱼生长快，抗疾病和容忍不同的温度。至少有一家公司，水族邦蒂农场，目前正在要求美国食品和药物管理局批准上市的转基因鲑鱼的食物。水族邦蒂农场'通用鲑鱼可以长到超过3倍正常鲑鱼大范围内的经济增长的第一年。

马来西亚已经立法转基因食品标签。
但执法方面还是N个问号。。。
