Huoshan County piloted GM food counters sales of genetically modified foods declined slightly

From June 1st, Huoshan County, Lu'an City, piloted GM food counter sales. Two supermarkets were selected in the urban area respectively. The development zone and 15 townships each chose a supermarket as a sales pilot and set up a “GMO Food Counter”. Xinan Evening News and Anhui Network reporter learned yesterday that, after the sub-cabinet, the sales of genetically modified foods in pilot supermarkets all fell. Analysts believe that this is related to consumer concerns.

Sales of GM Foods Slightly Declined

Huoshan County began experimenting with GM food counters on June 1. According to the introduction of the Hushan County Market Supervision Bureau, the pilot counters are currently distributed in 18 supermarkets in the county, including two urban districts, one development zone, and one township in each of the 15 townships. Each counter must be provided with an eye-catching signage, and no genetic modification is allowed. Food and non-genetically modified foods are mixed and sold.

As for the operation mode of “counter”, the reporter learned from Huoshan Zhongxing Store, a county commerce and trade limited liability company, that the GM foods in supermarkets were separated and sold exclusively. "The comparison between sales and sales has declined." The store manager Xu said.

The two supermarkets in the urban area are located on the bustling road. How about the sales there? Wang Minghua, deputy head of Huoshan County Market Supervision and Law Enforcement Brigade, told reporters that the sales of genetically modified foods in one of the supermarkets fell by about 20%. The other supermarket was soon opened and the contrast was not obvious. “But there have also been fluctuations.

Pilot counter is mainly based on edible oil

What are the genetically modified foods that counters sell? Wang Minghua said that at present, China's genetically modified foods are not well classified, except for clearly labeled edible oils. Others such as sweet corn and other foods are not genetically modified foods, and it is difficult to determine at the moment. “The main counter sales are mainly edible oils.”

The reporter visited a supermarket oil tanker group on Jiefangbei Road in Lu'an City and found that, although mixed display, the number of non-genetically modified edible oils was more than that of genetically modified edible oils, and the labels were larger and more conspicuous. “The sales of non-genetically modified edible oil are usually larger,” said the salesperson of the cabinet group. In the vegetable cabinet group, the reporter found the vacuum-packed sweet corn and found that there were no “genetically modified foods” on the signs.

Consumers choose more carefully

Are all the same products but sold separately. Why does this happen? Mr. Xu believes that in the past, consumers did not pay attention to genetic modification if they shopped for brands. Xu manager also pointed out that due to the separate display, the brand-new display method also made consumers somewhat unaccustomed.

“After the counters are sold, they will bring psychological changes to customers. Customers may not trust GM foods.” According to the analysis of the relevant person in the County Market Supervision Bureau, the zoning will inevitably attract more attention, and consumers will be more cautious when they choose.

“When I go to the supermarket to buy edible oil, I have to take a serious look at it, and I must consider it from my own economic ability before making a decision.” Mr. Dong, who lives in Hengshan Township, Huoshan County, said in an interview that he was even more at the time of shopping. It is biased towards non-genetically modified foods. "For genetically modified foods, there is still some concern."
