美国FDA批准转基因鲑鱼用于食品并发布标示指南

    食品伙伴网讯    据美国食品药品管理局（FDA）消息，11月19日美国FDA发布通告，批准转基因鲑鱼用于食品并发布相应标示指南。

    与普通鲑鱼相比，AquAdvantage转基因鲑鱼生长速度更快，在营养方面FDA未发现二者的差别。

    美国FDA称，已经对转基因鲑鱼的数据进行详细分析与评估，发现符合批准条件，食用这种鲑鱼是安全的。

    美国FDA还发布两项指南，转基因鲑鱼自愿性标示指南草案以及转基因植物自愿性标示最终指南。

    部分原文报道如下：

    based on sound science and a comprehensive review, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is taking several important steps today regarding food from genetically engineered （GE） plants and animals, including the first approval for a genetically engineered animal intended for food, AquAdvantage Salmon. The agency is also issuing two guidances for manufacturers who wish to voluntarily label their products as containing ingredients from GE or non-GE sources: a draft guidance on labeling foods derived from Atlantic salmon, and a final guidance on foods derived from GE plants.
