Abstract:

Nowadays, many countries have formulated regulatory laws for urging enterprises to identify the specific content
of genetically modified foods (GMFs) in various ways, proposing higher requirement for the detection techniques of GMFs.
This review describes the GMF labeling systems of various countries all over the world as well as their significance and
presents the latest progress in techniques for the analysis and detection of GMFs, including some emerging techniques
such as next-generation sequencing, isothermal amplification and omics techniques. At last, the future prospects of these
techniques are also discussed.

Key words: genetically modified foods, analysis and detection, molecular characterization, isothermal amplification
