List of bioengineered foods

https://www.ams.usda.gov/rules-regulations/be/bioengineered-foods-list

The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) developed the List of Bioengineered Foods to identify the crops or foods that are available in a bioengineered form throughout the world and for which regulated entities must maintain records. These records will inform regulated entities about whether they must make a bioengineered food disclosure.

New BE products continue to be developed. Even if a food is not included on the List, regulated entities whose records show that a food they are selling is bioengineered must make appropriate disclosure of that food.

AMS continually reviews the List and, if necessary, updates it through the federal rulemaking process.
