Foodmate News: Russian media milknews reported on July 16: The first deputy speaker of the Russian Federation Council stated on Thursday that the registration information of food producers using genetically modified organisms must be disclosed to the Russian public.

The Russian Deputy Speaker said: It is very important to ensure that the public has the right to know the food imported into Russia using genetic biotechnology. Therefore, it is necessary to disclose the relevant information on the national registration of manufacturers using genetic biotechnology in the production of food and feed.

In addition, the deputy speaker pointed out that the state should formulate and implement a unified national policy to comprehensively supervise the circulation of genetically modified biological products, formulate and give the corresponding federal power executive agency the necessary power space.

Russia currently prohibits the cultivation of crops with genetically modified organisms and the breeding of genetically modified animals (except for scientific research purposes), but relevant enterprises are allowed to import genetically modified feed, agricultural raw materials and food (except for special foods for children) after passing the national registration.
