我国转基因食品标识管理立法困境与出路

现行《食品安全法》对转基因食品强制标识仅作了原则性规定,致使现行规定仍过于模糊、存在疏漏,易在实践操作中出现困境。通过对转基因食品标识管理的立法进行梳理,认为我国转基因食品标识兼采以产品与过程为基础的强制标识原则,并实行偏向商谈-建构模式下的过程中心主义强制标识制度,仍存在着转基因食品定义不清、标识主体和内容模糊以及未标识责任不明确的问题,最后针对现行转基因食品标识管理立法层面存在的不足与缺漏,提出相应的完善建议。

Legislative dilemma and way out for genetically modified food label management

The current Food Safety Law only stipulates in principle the mandatory labeling of genetically modified foods, which makes the current regulations still too vague, incomplete, and prone to problems in practice. By sorting out the legislation on the labeling management of genetically modified foods, we believe that the labeling of genetically modified foods in China adopts the principle of mandatory labeling based on products and processes, and implements a process-centric compulsory labeling system in a negotiation-construction mode. There are still problems such as unclear definition of genetically modified foods, the main body of the labeling, the vague content, and unclear responsibilities are unclear. Finally, in view of the deficiencies and omissions in the current legislative level of genetically modified food labeling management, corresponding improvements are proposed.
