When buying imported fruits, did you pay attention to the label on the fruit? If imported apples, oranges, kiwis, etc. are genetically modified foods, do you mind? Recently, Ms. Huang of the public told the “Dangbao Spring Hotline.†She saw an argument from the Internet that a set of figures on the imported fruit label was the genetically modified fruit. However, when she purchased imported fruits, she never saw a Chinese label for the suspected GM fruit, nor was it indicated on the invoice.
On April 25th, the reporter visited Carrefour, Wal-Mart, Auchan and other large supermarkets and found that most of the numbers on the imported fruit labels start with 4, but they did not use Chinese to label genetically modified fruit. Ms. Huang said that according to her understanding, the code attached to the label on imported fruits was formulated by the American Fresh Produce Marketing Association. The first place was 3 was sprayed with pesticides, the first place was 4 was genetically modified food, and the first place was 5 was hybridization. fruit. If Ms. Wong said so, then only four figures will be available on the fruit label imported from the United States. However, the reporter found that similar fruits have similar labels on fruits imported from Italy, New Zealand and other places. The above four figures are It also starts with 4.
The reporter asked the staff of the supermarkets that they had already labeled the imported fruits when they arrived. They did not know what the numbers on the labels meant. A staff member told the reporter that she had heard that many cherry tomatoes and strawberries sold on the market are genetically modified, but it is unclear whether the supermarkets are genetically modified or not. The reporter randomly purchased a green snake fruit with an import code of 4139 and an imported kiwifruit code of 4030. The invoice also did not indicate whether it was genetically modified. Ordinary citizens who are buying fruits do not understand those digital codes, and even people have not paid attention to them. A young man said: "You don't say I didn't pay attention. I usually see if it's fresh and the price is unacceptable."
The reporter also found on the Internet another statement on the number of imported fruit labels: the number on the label becomes the PLU Code. If this number is four digits, it means that the crop is traditionally planted; if the number is five Numbers that start with 9 are organic foods. If they are five digits starting with 8, they are genetically modified foods. So what does the number on the label of imported fruit mean? Which statement is more reliable? The reporter asked the departments of entry and exit inspection and quarantine, quality supervision, and the Agricultural Commission. They did not give clear answers. The staff of the inspection and quarantine said that imported fruits are generally tested by the inspection and quarantine bureau of the port city before they are put into the Wuxi market, so they do not know what these figures represent. The staff of the Agriculture Commission said that there should be no genetically modified fruit on the market in Wuxi.
Ms. Huang said that there is no authoritative statement, she can only try not to buy imported fruits that start with 4 as a precaution, or simply choose to support domestic products. “But what label does the domestic fruit have? Is it safe?†Ms. Huang was puzzled and helpless. (Hui Xiaoying)

At present, many countries in the world have questions about the safety of eating genetically modified foods. The Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China has stipulated in its "Administrative Measures on the Labeling of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms" that was implemented on March 20, 2002 that agricultural genetically modified organisms used for sales should be identified, and those that have not been identified and not marked according to regulations must not be imported or sold; It is clearly stated that the labeling method is "transgenic × ×" and that the genetically modified components must also be indicated.
