食品伙伴网讯 据美国食品药品管理局（FDA）消息，近来美国FDA接连收到咨询有关转基因食品标识的问题，4月8日美国FDA就转基因标识发布声明称，FDA对"转基因标识"奉行自愿标注的原则，然而产品标识必须真实且不能误导消费者。美国FDA认为，转基因食品与传统食品一样，符合安全要求。
部分原文报道如下：
FDA has recently received inquiries about the labeling of foods with ingredients derived from genetically engineered plants.
We recognize and appreciate the strong interest that many consumers may have in knowing whether a food was produced using genetic engineering. FDA supports voluntary labeling for food derived from genetic engineering. Currently, food manufacturers may indicate through voluntary labeling whether foods have or have not been developed through genetic engineering provided that such labeling is truthful and not misleading.
Recently, FDA has received citizen petitions regarding genetically engineered foods, including the labeling of such foods. The agency is currently considering those petitions, and at this time, has not made a decision, in whole or in part, regarding the petitions.
FDA's role generally is to ensure that foods under its purview meet applicable safety, labeling, and other regulatory requirements. In general, foods derived from genetically engineered plants must meet the same requirements, including safety requirements, as other foods, such as foods derived from traditionally bred plants.
