A few days ago, the reporter learned from the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention that from 2009, the number of papayas on the market to obtain anti-maculavirus genes has gradually increased. Currently, the market share of this type of genetically modified papaya is 90%. Many of these genetically modified papayas are illegal varieties and have flown to the market without obtaining security certificates or approvals from the Ministry of Agriculture.
Marketed papaya nine became transgenic
Illegal genetically modified papaya has already flowed into Shenzhen, and representatives of the National People's Congress proposed to strengthen supervision.

Many of these genetically modified papayas are illegal varieties and have flown to the market without obtaining the safety certificate granted by the Ministry of Agriculture or the approval of imports.
Deng Pingjian, director of genetic research at the Shenzhen Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, has been working on the safety of genetically modified organisms. He said that in the past 10 years, genetically modified foods accounted for 5% to 10% of the Shenzhen food market, mainly including edible oils containing genetically modified soybeans and corn, peanuts, and cottonseed oil.
It is understood that the edible GM foods prescribed by the Ministry of Agriculture include five categories: soybeans, corn, tomatoes, cotton, and rapeseed. Domestically produced genetically modified foods must first obtain a safety certificate issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, and then be allowed to enter the market after being approved for commercial production; genetically modified foods imported from abroad must first obtain the safety certificate and commercialization certificate granted by the local government. It can be introduced into sales by the Ministry of Agriculture. When the GM food is sold, it must be clearly marked that the product is a genetically modified food.

Currently, the market share of this type of genetically modified papaya is 90%. Many of these genetically modified papayas are illegal varieties and have flown to the market without obtaining security certificates or approvals from the Ministry of Agriculture. Where did the illegal transgenic Papaya come from? Sampling results of the Municipal Center for Disease Control found that illegal GM Papaya was not only sold in the agricultural market and small shops in the city, but also found in supermarkets. Deng Pingjian said that genetically modified papaya is imported from illegal sources. It is currently speculated that it may be imported from Southeast Asian countries such as the Philippines or Malaysia. Some of the genetically modified papayas have been identified as Hainan. â€
Illegal genetically modified papaya is unknown and its safety cannot be guaranteed. The relevant person in charge of the Shenzhen Agricultural Science and Technology Promotion Center stated that the city has set up a special agricultural genetically modified organisms safety management station, which will carry out random inspections of genetically modified foods on the market and find that illegal genetically modified foods can be taken off the shelf.
However, according to relevant experts, the city has never dealt with illegal GM papaya. The Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China organizes the development of genetically modified research projects, but there is no department that supervises the safety of genetically modified foods.
At the two municipal conferences this year, the deputies of the People's Congress, such as Suoxing, jointly submitted a proposal for strengthening the supervision of genetically modified foods, proposed the introduction of GM food management policies and regulations, clarified the responsibilities of various departments, and conducted research and development, processing procedures, and information on genetically modified foods. Publications and other regulations have been made so that the government can regulate the various aspects of genetically modified foods.

Currently, the market for this type of genetically modified papaya is 90%. Many of these genetically modified papayas are illegal varieties and have flown to the market without obtaining the safety certificate granted by the Ministry of Agriculture or the approval of imports. 90% of the public do not accept genetically modified foods
The Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention has recently visited thousands of Shenzhen citizens over the telephone by relying on the infectious disease investigation system. It has been found that everyone's attitude is quite consistent, and over 90% of the citizens do not accept genetically modified foods.
“The people should have the right to know, choose and enjoy health rights for genetically modified foods. They should have the right not to choose genetically modified foods.†Experts said that according to national policies, genetically modified foods must be labeled. In the United States, GM foods are much cheaper than other foods.
Experts believe that the city currently has the technology to detect any genetically modified organism. As long as the illegally exposed genetically modified foods are detected, the relevant departments can perform supervision and delisting. The genetically-modified crops independently researched and developed by the state or approved by the Ministry of Agriculture are safe. However, it is difficult to guarantee the safety of transgenic crops that have passed through illegal channels and have not passed the safety certification of the Ministry of Agriculture.
Deng Pingjian, director of the genetically modified research department at the Shenzhen Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that genetically modified crops cannot be identified by naked eyes, and the laboratory can use gene detection methods to discover exogenous gene segments of any crop.
