英國(guó)調(diào)查消費(fèi)者對(duì)轉(zhuǎn)基因食品標(biāo)識(shí)的態(tài)度

    食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊   據(jù)英國(guó)食品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)署消息，1月9日英國(guó)食品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)署就消費(fèi)者對(duì)于轉(zhuǎn)基因食品標(biāo)識(shí)的態(tài)度公布了調(diào)查結(jié)果。

    調(diào)查結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)，消費(fèi)者對(duì)于現(xiàn)行轉(zhuǎn)基因標(biāo)識(shí)的規(guī)定了解較少，在購(gòu)買食品時(shí)主動(dòng)查看轉(zhuǎn)基因信息的消費(fèi)者僅為2%。

    部分原文報(bào)道如下：

        The key findings of the research, which can be found via the link below, are:

        Consumer awareness of the current labelling requirements is low.

        Participants were typically not seeking information or labelling with regard to GM foods. Only 2% of participants mentioned spontaneously that they looked for information about GM content when buying food products for the first time.

        There was a slight preference for labelling indicating the presence of GM, rather than labelling indicating the absence of GM.

        Labelling foods to indicate the absence of GM ingredients can result in a number of expectations. For example, participants expected a product labelled as 'GM-free' to be completely free of the use of GM.

        Participants were generally unaware of the use of GM animal feed by farmers. Once made aware of its use, they typically considered that products from animals fed GM feed should be labelled, consistent with previous FSA research.

        The Agency commissioned this research to inform discussions within Europe about GM labelling and to ensure the UK public's views were understood and represented.
