加拿大批准食用经基因编辑的猪,但各团体要求强制性标签,以提高透明度。 Canada approves gene-edited pigs for food, but groups demand mandatory labels for transparency.

加拿大卫生部已批准抗PRRSV的基因编辑猪供人类食用,并说它们与传统猪一样安全,营养上等同。 Health Canada has approved gene-edited pigs resistant to PRRSV for human consumption, stating they are safe and nutritionally equivalent to conventional pigs. 尽管如此,一个农民和环境团体联盟正在敦促强制贴标签,并援引强有力的公众支持——超过80%的加拿大人希望遗传工程食品透明。 Despite this, a coalition of farmers and environmental groups is urging mandatory labelling, citing strong public support—over 80% of Canadians want transparency on genetically engineered foods. 他们警告说,自愿贴标签是无效的,特别是加拿大总标准委员会3月31日关闭后,食品标签标准不确定。 They warn voluntary labelling is ineffective, especially with the Canadian General Standards Board closing March 31, leaving food labelling standards uncertain. 杜布雷顿(duBreton)这样的生产者害怕增加成本以证明他们的猪肉是无强制性标签的非转基因生物。 Producers like duBreton fear added costs to prove their pork is non-GMO without mandatory labels. 虽然加拿大卫生部坚持根据公司数据和国际准则进行严格的安全评估,但批评者强调消费者的选择和信任。 While Health Canada maintains its safety assessments, based on company data and international guidelines, are rigorous, critics emphasize consumer choice and trust.
