美国农业部拟对非转基因食品实施认证与标识制度

食品伙伴网讯    据外媒报道,美国农业部(USDA)拟出台政策,对非转基因食品实施认证与标识制度。各企业可以根据需要,自愿进行认证与标识。

    美国消费者团体要求政府出台转基因食品的强制标识措施,鉴于此美国农业部做出这项措施。

    目前食品企业可以在食品标识上声称不含转基因,然而这未经过政府认证。非转基因认证制度出台后,美国农业部市场管理局(AMS)将负责非转基因申请、审批工作。

    部分原文报道如下:

    The Agriculture Department has developed a new government certification and labeling for foods that are free of genetically modified ingredients.

    USDA's move comes as some consumer groups push for mandatory labeling of the genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.

    The certification is the first of its kind, would be voluntary - and companies would have to pay for it. If approved, the foods would be able to carry a “USDA Process Verified” label along with a claim that they are free of GMOs.

    Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack outlined the new certification in a May 1 letter to USDA employees, saying it was being done at the request of a “leading global company,” which he did not identify. A copy of the letter was obtained by The Associated Press.
