转基因食品争议

转基因食品争议(英語:Genetically modified food controversies)是指关于食用转基因作物及其副产品、在食品生产中利用基因工程技术等方面的争议。这场争议与消费者、生物技术公司、政府管理者、非政府组织和科学家都密切相关。关于基因改造食品的争论核心包括:转基因食品的上市标注、政府管理者的责任、相关科学研究的目的、转基因作物对环境和健康的影响、对害虫之抗药性的影响、对农业生产者的影响和转基因作物对满足全球粮食需求的作用。
科学界的共识是此类转基因作物及其副产品的健康安全风险并不高于传统食品[1][2][3],也就是说转基因作物的安全性是可以保证的。对转基因食品的安全评估始于鉴定该食品是否与同类非转基因食品「实质等同」,后者是那些已经被确认无害的传统食品,而且目前还没有报告宣称转基因食品在人身上造成疾病[4][5][6],但公众还是担心转基因食品有害健康。虽然针对转基因生物产品的标注在许多国家是强制性的,但美国和加拿大并不执行类似政策,在市场上转基因食品和传统食品是没有差别的。

「过去超过25年间的研究,有着超过130个研究项目,多余500个独立研究小组参与,都得出结论,生物技术,特别是转基因食品,并不比传统育种的食物有更大的风险」("The main conclusion to be drawn from the efforts of more than 130 research projects, covering a period of more than 25 years of research, and involving more than 500 independent research groups, is that biotechnology, and in particular GMOs, are not per se more risky than e.g. conventional plant breeding technologies.")(p. 16)

This may be because developers of bioengineered organisms perform extensive compositional analyses to determine that each phenotype is desirable and to ensure that unintended changes have not occurred in key components of food.")
