No domestically listed genetically modified corn marketer has tried to eat with netizens
On the morning of the 8th, under the leadership of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the National Maize Improvement Engineering Center Dai Jingrui, more than 20 active users signed up to the corn test site of China Agricultural University to pick genetically modified corn and cook it. Fang Xiangzi, the promoter of the event and a popular science writer, said that although the taste of genetically modified corn has no scientific value, it has the value of science. It should create conditions for people to eat genetically modified foods every day.
There is no listing of genetically modified corn
The China Agricultural University uses 15 mu of experimental land for planting genetically modified corn, which is located in Haidian District, Beijing. A sign of "BT-799 insect-resistant corn" was erected in front of the experimental field. According to reports, the corn was bred by the Corn Improvement Center of China Agricultural University and has independent intellectual property rights. “At present, the transformant has entered the production trial stage, and the field traits show that this transformation event has met the requirements for large-scale industrialization.†Under the sign, the patent certificate issued by the State Intellectual Property Office and the safety approval issued by the Ministry of Agriculture are attached.
The reporter found that the Ministry of Agriculture’s safety approval document showed that the project's pilot scale is 15 acres in Beijing and 15 acres in Jilin Province. The period of validity is from May 21 to December 31, 2013, and the period of validity is only 7 months.
Professor Lai Jinsheng of the China Agricultural University explained that the safety approval document is different from the “safety certificate†of genetically modified foods that is usually mentioned. The latter is equivalent to a degree. The former only has one credit and can continue to apply after the validity period expires to continue growing. The next phase of testing.
Lai Jinsheng said that at present, genetically modified corn in China has obtained a safety certificate, but it is still not on the market for variety approval and approval of seed production, processing, and sales, so ordinary citizens still cannot eat genetically modified corn.
Netizens take their children to try to eat
In addition to the “BT-799 insect-resistant corn,†the experimental field also planted the “Chunyu 355,†the largest maize plant in Northeast China, and “Zhengdan 958,†the country’s largest planting area. In contrast, transgenic insect-resistant corn has fewer pests.
Netizens walked into the experimental field and picked up a few baskets of mature genetically modified corn. According to the regulations, these corns cannot be taken away by themselves but are uniformly processed by the staff and the corn coating is treated centrally.
There are two children in the scene. Luo Yunbo, Dean of the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering, China Agricultural University, and his wife and children came together. 37-year-old electronic engineer Lin Minhua also came with a 6-year-old son to try the food. When he saw the activity message on Weibo, he took the initiative. Reported the name.
Lin Minhua said that as a technical worker, he should be "recognized" for genetic modification. Bringing his son together is to make people who think that eating genetically modified foods "absolutely auspicious" can be seen by practical actions to prove that this is a rumor.
According to experts, this breed of genetically modified corn is mainly used as a feed, neither sweet corn nor sticky corn. However, when cooked corn was released, many netizens at the scene praised “very delicious†and “great foodâ€.
Fang Fangzi, the initiator of the event, said that whether it is tasting GM rice or corn, it is scientifically meaningless because its safety has long been confirmed. “Americans have been eating since 1990 and do not need to find a group of volunteers to taste it. It is not safe to taste this thing.†He pointed out that tasting is not a strict scientific experiment. It is indeed a “showâ€.
Fang Zhouzi mentioned that online rumors of “long-term tumors after eating genetically modified corn†are all rumors of genetically modified foods. Although it is common in the United States to eat genetically modified foods, in China, this is the first time ordinary citizens have been invited to taste genetically modified corn. Therefore, science is of great significance. (Reporter Shang Xi intern reporter Fan Rui)
