台湾地区立法机构周一通过了一项学校卫生管理条例修正案，其中明确禁止学校餐厅使用转基因食材，比如转基因蔬菜和转基因豆腐。
Taiwan's legislature on Monday banned school canteens from using genetically modified (GM) food, such as vegetables or tofu.
这项禁令也是对包括食堂卫生在内的学校卫生规定的部分修改。
The ban is part of a revision to a decree on school sanitation that covers canteens.
此外，由教育、农业和卫生主管机关牵头的卫生巡查组将在每学年访视，确保中小学学校和高等院校遵守该卫生条例。
In addition, an inspection will be led by the education, agriculture and health authorities every academic year to ensure schools and colleges adhere to the ruling, according to a statement issued by the legislature.
台湾执政党--国民党的一名立法委员卢秀燕表示，近来，公众对转基因食品可能引发的健康问题愈发担忧，该条例正是在这种情势下推行。
The decree comes in light of increasing public concern about possible health risks of GM foods, said Lu Hsiu-yen, a legislator from the Kuomintang, the island's ruling party.
卢秀燕说：“对那些一直关注转基因食品的父母来说，这项条例会使他们稍稍安心。”
"For parents who are concerned about GM foods, the decree will set their minds at ease," Lu said.
