转基因食品强制标识的理论反思

Theoretical Reflections on the Mandatory Labeling of Genetically Modified Food

转基因食品强制标识看似理论依据充分,实际上,这些理论依据都只是对市面上转基因食品存在的合理性进行的事后证成。这些理论依据掩盖了转基因食品问题的争论焦点,因为人们对于转基因食品争论的根本焦点并不在于转基因食品的标识问题,而在于转基因食品是否安全、能否食用的问题。在这个问题解决之前,公权力机关的干预应该秉持精于研究、慎于应用的原则。

Genetically modified food mandatory labeling seemingly has sufficient theoretical bases, actually, these are only the ex - post justification of the rationality of genetically modified food exist on the market. These theoretical bases cover up the focus of debate on the problem of genetically modified foods, because the focus of controversy over genetically modified food is not the labeling problem, but whether genetically modified food is safe, edible or not. Before this problem solving, the public authority intervention should adhere to the principle of refining on study and being cautious about application.
