Chinese consumers wary of GMO food: Greenpeace
Consumers in China’s big cities do not welcome genetically modified (GMO) food on their table, according to a Greenpeace survey, although it also showed not many were familiar with such food. Greenpeace International has released the survey to coincide with the end of the bi-annual meeting of China’s biosafety committee, which examines the safety of genetically modified crops for large-scale production. Among consumers surveyed in the three big cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, 65 percent would not choose GMO food and 77 percent would not buy GMO rice.
