Introduction to the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standards

美國對於生物工程食品之管理一貫秉持採取科學證據及實質等同的原則，認為無須對於生物工程食品予以強制標示，然2016年國會通過國家生物技術食品揭露標準，並禁止各州立法強制標示，以維護消費者知的權利及自由選擇的權利，本文簡述美國對於生物工程食品的管理模式，並介紹國家生物技術食品揭露標準的重要內容，以及對於可能產生潛在問題加以討論，希冀對於我國未來的管理規範有所助益。

The United States has set forth a risk-based, scientifically sound basis and substantial equivalence for the oversight of bioengineered food so that it had no legal or scientific basis to require mandatory labels for bioengineered food. However, in 2016, the Congress enacted the National Biotechnology Food Disclosure Standards, which preempts state and local labeling laws and responds to demands of consumers for the right to know and the right to choose. This article briefly describes the management framework of bioengineered foods in the United States, introduces the important contents of the National Biotechnology Food Disclosure Standards, discusses potential problems that may arise, and then offers suggestions for future management regulations in our country.
