Abstract: Since the GM crops production became commercialized on large scale, enormous economic benefits has been brought to the human society, but there has always been a dispute about the risk and safety of transgenic technology. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the studies on the safety evaluation of genetically modified foods (GMF). This paper elaborated the status of GMF safety research at home and abroad, and summarized the cultivation situation, laws and regulations, supervision system, and public attitudes towards GMF in some countries and regions (such as USA, EU, Japan and Brazil). At the same time, combined with our national conditions, and directing at the subject matters of imperfect laws and regulations in transgenic field, lacking of public understanding, and difficulties in supervision of food safety, etc., the paper put forward suggestions as perfecting the relevant laws and regulations; protecting consumers right to learn the truth; establishing reasonable and feasible supervision system from the central to the local governments; strengthening professional knowledge training; constructing a national science popularization platform for genetically modified organism; and strengthening impartial and rational dialogue, etc..

摘要： 转基因作物自大规模商业化生产以来，为人类社会带来了巨大的经济效益，但转基因技术的风险性和安全性一直存在争议。因此，有必要加强转基因食品的安全性评价研究。介绍了国内外转基因农产品食用安全性研究的现状，并阐述了部分国家和地区（如美国、欧盟、日本、巴西）转基因农产品的种植状况、法律法规、管理体系和公众态度。同时结合我国国情，针对我国转基因领域法律法规不完善，公众对转基因安全性了解不足以及转基因食品的安全监管困难等主要问题，提出了完善我国相关法律法规、保障消费者知情权，建立合理且切实可行的从中央到地方的监管体系和专业知识训练，增大执行力度，建立全国转基因生物科普宣传平台，加强公平且理性的对话等政策建议。
