It is difficult to say whether the food containing corn is genetically modified.
First, China has imported a large amount of genetically modified corn. According to regulations, these corns can only be used as feed and are not directly eaten by humans. However, the current supervision is not satisfactory, which may lead to some unscrupulous traders to use genetically modified corn to make food.
The second reason is that since the introduction of "Xianyu 335" corn from the American Pioneer Company to China, China's corn market has been disrupted. "Xianyu 335" was introduced to China in the name of non-GMO, but according to the actual US patent, its male parent is genetically modified. It is said that the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection has detected that Xianyu 335 has been transferred into the cauliflower virus CaMV35S promoter gene. Because A specific reason has not been made public yet, but there is already news online. Since Xianyu 335 has a large planting area in China, it is now difficult for ordinary consumers to judge whether corn oil is genetically modified. Even if the corn oil is labeled as non-GMO, it is difficult to say that it is not genetically modified because it may be made from genetically modified corn oil. Jade 335 is extracted from corn.
Scientists around the world have yet to reach a complete understanding of the safety of genetically modified foods. There are also many studies proving that genetic modification is harmful. Therefore, to be cautious, it is better to avoid corn foods as much as possible.
