At present,more and more genetically modified foods(GMF) enter into the human food chain. Then GMF security issues has attracted people's attention. They also have become one of the most controversial issues. China is a big consumer of GMF. For the GMF security evaluation and testing assessment system is not perfect in China,and the public participation in the GMF security management has less opportunities,the Chinese public has developed a fear of GMF.
