基因改造食品的美麗與哀愁【醫事綜探】 試閱
The Advantages of the Genetically Modified Food and its Defects
美國植物工程學家運用基因工具CRISPR-Cas9將蘑菇「破壞原有的基因」的方式切除褐變基因,此中做法並而非「加入外來基因」,美國農業部通過利用此操作模式生產的蘑菇,無需像其他基因改造作物(genetically modified organisms, GMO)一樣受美國基因改造法規的嚴格規範,而能與不褐變的蘋果與馬鈴薯一樣上市販賣。我國關於基因改造食品標示的規範包含《包裝食品含基因改造食品原料標示應遵行事項》、《食品添加物含基因改造食品原料標示應遵行事項》及《散裝食品含基因改造食品原料標示應遵行事項》等...
CRISPR-Cas9 is the newest genomic editing tool. Plant pathologist, Dr. Yinong Yang and his team at Pennsylvania State University developed an anti-browning white button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) using the CRISPR-Cas9 technology. They snip a bit of DNA from mushroon, but add no new genes. The mushroom will not be regulated as a genetically modified organism (GMO) in the US as it contains no foreign DNA, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has said. In Taiwan, under the regulation of Act Governing Food Safety and Sanitation all foods containing GM ingredients should be labeled.
