novel food genetically enginereed food; Genetically engineered foods. Novel foods, including those altered using biotechnology, should not differ "significantly" from the foods they are to replace. Labels should not be misleading, but must make clear any differences between the novel food and its "conventional" alternative, and must say how that difference was achieved. Foods containing a genetically modified living organism, such as a live yogurt made with an altered culture, would always be labelled. Any food whose modification might raise moral or health worries to consumers would also have to carry a label. This would include genes from an animal considered unclean by some religions, or from a plant that might cause allergic reactions. However, foods which, although made using novel methods, are identical to conventional foods, would not have to be labelled新型食品 (基因工程食品。新型食品,包括利用生物技术而改变的食品,将不会"明显地"区别于它们所代替的食品。标签不应该使人误解,但必须明确新型食品和"传统"选择之间的任何差别,必须指出这种差别是如何实现的。食品中含有转基因生物体,诸如具有改变培养方式而作出的酸奶,将总是被标记。任何食品其改变可能引起消费者以心理上或健康的忧虑,则必须携带一个标签。这将包括一些宗教认为的不洁净的动物基因,或可能会导致来自植物的基因过敏性反应。然而,尽管它采用了新方法,食品仍等同于传统食品,将不会被贴上标签。)
