The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has published the list of approved safety certificates for genetically modified agricultural organisms 2024. The list includes:
- production and application safety certificates of 9 items (3 items of genetically modified plants, 6 items of genetically modified microorganisms for animals);
- renewal of 55 production and application safety certificates (4 genetically modified microorganisms for animals and 51 insect-resistant cotton plants).
It should be noted that the approval for the first time of a type of genetically modified wheat is included in the list.
The approval of genetically modified and disease-resistant wheat is considered a milestone, as it is the ingredient used to make pasta, noodles, and bread, predominantly grown in China for food consumption.
