Edible agricultural products should identify whether it belongs to genetically modified

China Business News (Reporter Zhou Jingzhu, Correspondent Zhang Weifeng, Qin Yanli) — Yesterday, the reporter learned from the Provincial Food and Drug Administration that in an effort to enhance the supervision of edible agricultural products in the province and ensure their quality and safety, the administration recently issued a document titled "Agricultural Market Access Guidance (Trial)", commonly referred to as the "Guiding Opinions". The "Guiding Opinions" outlines the essential requirements for businesses engaged in the sale of edible agricultural products. All such products must meet national, local, and industry standards for quality and safety. They must be accompanied by certificates of conformity issued by government departments at or above the county level, or by township governments, village committees, or farmer cooperatives. Additionally, they should provide inspection and testing reports from nationally recognized testing institutions. For genetically modified agricultural products, proper identification according to relevant regulations is required. Products that are subject to quarantine under the law must also carry valid inspection and quarantine marks and documents. The guidance also emphasizes stricter oversight and a mechanism for removing non-compliant products from the market. If an operator is found to have violated regulations, the supervisory authority may order them to rectify, halt sales of the affected batch, recall previously sold items, suspend or ban similar products from entering the market. Moreover, if a product fails three consecutive sampling inspections from the same origin within the jurisdiction, the corresponding variety from that area will be banned from entering the market for six months. According to officials from the Provincial Food and Drug Administration, this initiative marks the first of its kind nationwide. The implementation of a market access system has significantly improved the compliance rate of edible agricultural products, ensuring that major products in the province maintain a qualification rate of over 95%. This move not only strengthens consumer confidence but also sets a new benchmark for food safety management across the country.
