三、通报简介
肯尼亚标准局于2009年发布了第一版《转基因生物及其产品—食品和饲料标签标准》,鉴于推动该国相关产业发展的需要,现对标准进行常规性定期回顾,并希望得到对已发布标准的修订建议。
该标准适用于转基因生物(以下简称GMO)及含有其成分的食品、饲料产品的标签,旨在为GMO及其产品的标签提供指南,确保能够提供清晰、准确的信息以保护消费者健康和公平交易,并避免对消费者的误导。但该标准不适用于通过加工去除了转基因蛋白或基因的产品,及转基因成分占5%以下的产品。
该标准对转基因及其产品、转基因、标签、唯一识别号等名词进行了定义。此类产品标签除应满足《KS-40预包装食品标签标准》第1-2部分、《KS CAC/GL 1-1979 关于声明的法典通用准则》和《KS CAC/GL 23-1997 营养声明的使用准则》的要求外,该标准还提出了明确“转基因”字样、对转基因产品和常规产品之间的差异进行描述等要求,并列出了声明的禁止条款。
对此,WTO技术贸易壁垒委员会与2月5日向成员国发出通报,要求在60日内提出意见。
