美國(guó)伏蒙特州轉(zhuǎn)基因標(biāo)簽法案設(shè)立半年過渡期

    食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  據(jù)外媒報(bào)道，3月29日美國(guó)伏蒙特州（Vermont）司法部長(zhǎng)表示，轉(zhuǎn)基因標(biāo)簽法案將設(shè)立6個(gè)月的過渡期，從7月1日至和12月31日。法案將主要針對(duì)故意違反的情況。

    由于部分產(chǎn)品貨架期較長(zhǎng)，因此對(duì)于7月1日之前銷售的食品，在12月31日之前不受法案約束。對(duì)于7月1日之后銷售的食品，如果標(biāo)識(shí)錯(cuò)誤，那么將會(huì)被罰款。按照新法案要求，對(duì)于食品中的轉(zhuǎn)基因成分，那么需要標(biāo)注“含轉(zhuǎn)基因”、“部分含轉(zhuǎn)基因”、“可能含轉(zhuǎn)基因”。

    部分原文報(bào)道如下：

    In a memorandum on the new GMO labeling law coming into force in Vermont in July, attorney general William H. Sorrell says enforcement action will “focus on willful violations of the labeling law” and that there will be a six-month safe harbor period for foods distributed before July 1 and offered for sale through December 31.

    In the one-page memo, he adds: “Out of recognition that some food products have longer shelf lives, CP 121 creates a sixmonth ”safe harbor“ for foods distributed before July 1, 2016, and offered for retail sale through December 31, 2016. During this six-month period, unless there is evidence that a manufacturer distributed a mislabeled product after July 1, 2016, we will not bring an enforcement action or seek fines for those products.
