Abstract

Abstract:

Currently there has not been the commercial cultivation of genetically modified crops in Japan,but Japan imports a large amount of genetically modified crops such as genetically modified corns,soybeans,and rapeseed every year from the United States,Brazil,and Canada,similar to some of the situation in China. The current safety management system for genetically modified crops in Japan divides into four stages based on their features and application：safety management in lab studies,food safety assessment,feed safety assessment and environmental safety assessment,which is also similar to the classification,grading,and staging policies implemented in China. At the beginning of 2020,Japan formulated guidelines on gene editing foods and agricultural products,which can be used as a reference for China in terms of gene editing management. This article reviews the safety management of genetically modified crops,particularly in the areas of the development and application of genetically modified crops,the traceability of imported products,and the management of gene editing,to better understand the safety management system of genetically modified crops in Japan.

Key words: safety management, product traceability, gene editing
