Genetically modified foods must be marked with the word "GMO"

Our reporter Zhang Nan

For the production and operation of genetically modified food, the word "genetically modified" should be prominently marked on the food label

●The height of the production date and the expiration date shall not be less than 3 mm

When I get a package of food, it happens occasionally that I can't find the date of manufacture or expiration date; I finally find the date of manufacture, but the handwriting is blurry

Where should the production date and shelf life be marked? The draft for comments clearly states that the production date and shelf life should be marked prominently and can be printed on the packaging surface with a white background; the production date and shelf life should be marked by laser etching.

●Whether edible salt is "iodized" should be clearly marked on the package

Genetically modified food has always been the focus of social attention.

In addition, the iodization of edible salt and the production of liquid milk from reconstituted milk also need to be clearly marked

●Food labels should not emphasize that they are suitable for specific groups such as children and the elderly

The draft for comments states that, in the absence of laws, regulations, rules and food safety standards, words or patterns shall not be used on food labels to express, imply or emphasize that the product is suitable for infants, children, the elderly, pregnant women and other specific groups

What should not appear on food labels? Explicitly, implicitly, and involving the functions of disease prevention and treatment; for substances that are not contained or used in food, the words "no added", "zero added", "not contained" or similar words are used to emphasize that they are not contained or not used; the use has been registered.
