A rotulagem constitui uma importante interface da informação técno-científica com o público em geral. Apresentam-se resultados de um estudo cujo objetivo foi o exame dos hábitos de leitura dos rótulos dos alimentos por parte dos consumidores, e a sua compreensão das informações neles contidas. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de grupos focais e a aplicação de um questionário. A pouca leitura de rótulos constatada aponta implicações relevantes no contexto da importância atribuída à rotulagem dos alimentos transgênicos. AbstractLabelling constitutes an important scientific-technical information interface with the general public. It is presented the results of a study aimed at examine the reading habits of food labels by consumers, and their understanding of the information contained in them. The research was carried out via focus groups and with the application of a questionnaire. The identified scarcity of reading labels points to relevant implications in the context of the importance attributed to the labeling of genetically modified food.

Food label makes it possible to use the rights training, access to information, selection for consumer. It is possible to eat healthy by having more information on food labels. This study was planned to determine food label reading habit and the views on GMOs of adults. The population of the research consists of adults who shpping at supermarket in Manisa. The sample was 658 people (n=658). The descriptive and cross-sectional survey was done October between and December 2014. The data collection form includes socio-demographic information, opinions on label reading and GMOs. It was found that 80.1% of respondents' source of information on GMOs is the media.It was found that socio-demographical characteristics of the participants affected food labels reading habits and views on GMOs. It was found that most of respondents that disagreed in production with genetically modified seeds in Turkey is correct. Furthermore most of respondents thought that did not comply with the ban which prevents entry of genetically modified foods to Turkey and did not make necessary checks in there. The results of this study show that adults are not having much knowledge about GMOs and risk perseption scale on GMOs is great. the media has the bigggest effect about GMOs. This study once again showed the need for the educational role of the public health nurse in terms of community nutrition.

Gıda etiketleri hakkında daha fazla bilgiye sahip olarak sağlıklı beslenmek mümkündür. Çalışma erişkinlerin gıda etiketi okuma alışkanlığı ve GDO konusundaki görüşlerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla planlanmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini Manisa il merkezinde bulunan süpermarketlerden alışveriş yapan erişkinler oluşturmuştur. Örneklem ise 568 kişidir (n=658). Tanımlayıcı-kesitsel tipteki çalışmanın verileri Ekim-Aralık 2014 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Veriler GDO’ ya ilişkin soruların olduğu form ve sosyo-demografik bilgi formu kullanılarak toplanmıştır. GDO’ ya ilişkin bilgiye ulaşmada en sık kullanılan kaynak medyadır (%80.1).Katılımcıların sosyo-demografik özelliklerinin   etiket okuma alışkanlığı ve GDO’ ya ilişkin görüşlerini etkilediği bulunmuştur. Katılımcıların çoğu Türkiye’de GD tohumlarla üretim yapılmasını doğru bulmadığını, Türkiye’de GDO’ lu gıda girişini engelleyen yasağa uyulmadığını ve gerekli kontrollerin yapılmadığını düşünmektedir. Çalışma sonuçlarına göre erişkinler GDO hakkında pek fazla bilgi sahibi değildir ve medya en büyük etkiye sahiptir. Katılımcıların GDO risk algısı yüksektir. Bu çalışma toplum beslenmesi açısından halk sağlığı hemşiresinin eğitici rolüne olan ihtiyacı bir kez daha gözler önüne sermiştir.

Abstract Genetically modified food animals (GMFAs) are needed to address early the cumulative effects of livestock production on the environment and to accommodate future food demands. In 2020 China and the U.S., the world's two largest economies, embarked on regulatory reforms to boost the commercialization of such animals. However, gaining social acceptance of GMFAs for commercialization remains a global challenge. We propose a framework that focuses on social license for commercialization of GMFAs by defining four classes of improvement using precision genetics: 1) animals equivalent to natural variation to obtain the improved effect of cross-breeding (ENV); 2) animals with an inactivated gene that could occur via natural mutation (ENC-); 3) animals harboring a natural genetic sequence isolated from another species (ENC+); and 4) animals with synthetic sequences encoding novel genes (BNE). Our approach can guide regulators and the public to support orderly commercialization of genetically modified food animals.

The Impact

We experimentally test whether expert organizations on social media can correct misperceptions of the scientific consensus on the safety of genetically modified (GM) food for human consumption, as well as what role social media cues, in the form of “likes,” play in that process. We find expert organizations highlighting scientific consensus on GM food safety reduces consensus misperceptions among the public, leading to lower GM misperceptions and boosting related consumption behaviors in line with the gateway belief model. Expert organizations’ credibility may increase as a result of correction, but popularity cues do not seem to affect misperceptions or credibility.
