Legislation Research On Genetically Modified Food Labeling Institution

Along with the emergence of GM foods in the public life field,the series of controversies surrounding GM foods has quickly become the focus of public attention.In general,the public’s call for stricter and more complete regulatory legal systems is growing.The genetically modified food labeling system has unique advantages in GM food regulation and consumer rights protection: on the one hand,GM food labeling is an effective means to improve the food safety market regulation mechanism and information balance mechanism;on the other hand,GM food labeling is the consumer’s right to know.The institutional basis with the guarantee of independent choice.In the process of commercial development of genetically modified foods for many years,in order to solve the problem of consumers’ right to know,various countries or regions have carried out legislation on the genetically modified food labeling system in the management of genetically modified foods.The United States and the European Union are the two typical models.Its institutional legislative experience is worthy of reference for China.With the influx of genetically modified foods in China’s food market,higher legal requirements have been put forward for the regulation of genetically modified foods.At the same time,China has also made active attempts in the legislation of genetically modified food labeling systems.However,due to the particularity of GM foods and the influence of many factors,the chaos of local legislation of the GM food labeling system has emerged,which has brought obstacles to the smooth operation of relevant regulatory mechanisms.rom the perspective of problem types,genetically modified food identification is not only a scientific issue,but also a political choice issue or a social issue.The choice of label model is related to more and more multi-faceted interests,The legislative arrangement of the labeling system must fully consider the system operating costs and income balance,and even its operability standards.Therefore,how to carry out the GM food labeling system arrangement in China,how to choose the system legislative design,urgently needs us to explore and solve the legislative theory and institutionalized content.This thesis uses a variety of legal methods as analytical tools to demonstrate the legislation of the genetically modified food labeling system.First of all,starting from the most basic legal concept in the genetically modified food identification system,namely,genetically modified foods,the analysis and interpretation of the norms are carried out toclearly identify the scope of the objects that need to be regulated by the system legislation.Then it discusses the legal basis of the legislation of genetically modified food labeling system,and clarifies that consumer rights protection,risk society theory and interest measurement theory are the theoretical foundations of the GM food labeling system.Then,with China,the United States and the European Union as three typical analysis samples,we examined the reasons for the difficulties and obstacles in the legislation of China’s genetically modified food labeling system,as well as the legislative chaos that has emerged in recent years,focusing on central and local legislation.The coordination of relationships is the object of study.At the same time,it analyzes the relevant legislative characteristics and successes of the United States and the European Union,and then compares with the differences between the legislative principles and legislative models of the genetically modified food labeling system in China,summarizes the influencing factors behind the formation of differences,summarize the enlightenment that the United States and the European Union have brought to us on the coordination of genetically modified food labeling legislation.Finally,this paper returns to the practical problem of regulating the legislation of China’s genetically modified food labeling system in China,and proposes specific legislative design concepts and specific legislative contents,so as to provide references for the legislation of China’s genetically modified food labeling system in China,form a sound legal regulation system,shape a good industrial development prospect,and protect the national economic interests.
