This database is maintained by CropLife International, a global federation of the plant biotechnology industry, and contains both DNA- and protein-based methods. The detection methods provided have been developed and validated by the technology providers for their own proprietary technologies and products. Not-for-profit laboratories have free access to the methods, while laboratories that conduct “fee-for-service” testing must request a license to access the methods. |
Deliberate (experimental GMO) Releases
List of Summary Notification Information Formats (SNIFs) submitted to the Member State's Competent Authorities under Directive 2001/18/EC (after 17 October 2002) for the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified plants for purposes other than placing them on the market (experimental releases). |
EMM MedISys GMO
Information on GMOs retrieved from 4000 dedicated websites which is updated every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day. |
EU Food and Feed Information Portal (GMO Register)
This search engine covers the Community register of GM food and feed (Regulation (EC) 1829/2003) and the GM products withdrawn from the market. |
EU-RL GMFF
The core tasks of the EU-RL GMFF are the scientific assessment and validation of detection methods for GM Food and Feed as part of the EU authorisation procedure and the coordination of the National Reference Laboratories for GMO in the 27 Member States. The EU-RL GMFF is supported by ENGL, the European Network of GMO Laboratories, and hosted by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.
The EU-RL GMFF operates according to a quality management system certified and accredited according to ISO 17025 and ISO 17043. |
EU-SAGE
EU-SAGE is a network representing plant scientists at 134 European plant science institutes and societies. The network provides information about genome editing and promotes the development of European and EU Member State policies that enable the use of genome editing for sustainable agriculture and food production. |
Europe Media Monitor (EMM) – News Brief
The public web application News Brief displays the hottest topics discussed over the past few minutes and hours across multiple news sources worldwide in 60 languages. Updated every ten minutes, the site groups related news, shows timelines, and highlights the biggest stories first.

FAO GM Foods Platform
FAO GM Foods Platform is a simple online platform to share information on safety assessment of foods derived from recombinant-DNA plants authorized in accordance with the Codex Plant Guideline, entitled “Guideline for the conduct of food safety assessment of foods derived from recombinant-DNA plants (CAC/GL 45-2003, annex III adopted in 2008)". This Platform also facilitates the effective utilization of food safety assessment in situations of Low Level Presence (LLP) of r-DNA plant materials in food. |
FEDA Food Enzyme Database
The Food Enzyme Database (FEDA) is a web-application database that collects and structures publicly available information related to food enzymes in one location. Data are gathered from the public sections of submitted FE dossiers, EFSA portals, published scientific opinions, the NCBI databases (genomes and taxonomy), EC inventory and IUBMB (International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) nomenclature. |
GMOIT: GMO Identification Tool
GMO Identification Tool (GMOIT) is a database of detection methods for genetically modified (GM) components in major crops. It provides information on 118 independent events that have been globally commercialized or domestically developed in China (before Nov 11, 2021) and their corresponding detection methods for researchers, detection institutions, and related practitioners. The database covers four important GM crops: soybean, rice, canola and maize. It also provides the customized screening protocols to users. |
GMOMETHODS (EURL GMFF, JRC)
EU Database of Reference Methods for GMO Analysis. GMOMETHODS provides information on EU reference methods for GMO Analysis that have been validated according to the principles and requirements of international standards. Data is retrieved from peer-reviewed journals and final reports of collaborative studies. |
GenBit GM crops database
Database of genetically engineered argicultural crops (including genetic elements of the constructs) approved worldwide is supported by GenBit. The database includes also information on authorisation status of genetically modified crops in the Russian Federation and in the European Union (lines being under withdrawal process are not included). |
ISAAA GM Approval Database
ISAAA presents an easy-to-use database of biotech/GM crop approvals for public use. It features the biotech/GM crop events that have been approved for commercialization/planting and importation (food and feed). Entries in the database represent the majority of the GM crop events approved worldwide, based on publicly available English (and translatable) decision documents of each approving country, Biosafety Clearing House of the Convention on Biological Diversity, and peer-reviewed scholarly articles. The database also includes discontinued events for recording purposes. |
JRC - Certified Reference Materials (CRM)
JRC (European Commission, Joint Research Centre Directorate F - Health and Food) develops, produces and distributes Certified Reference Materials (CRMs). These CRMs are used for the calibration or quality control of genetically modified organism (GMO) quantification measurements. |
OECD BioTrack product database
OECD public database allows regulatory officials and other interested stakeholders to easily share basic information on products derived from the use of modern biotechnology, as well as some products with novel traits acquired by the use of conventional breeding or mutagenesis, that have been approved for commercial application in at least one country, in terms of food, feed or environmental safety. This database accommodates Unique Identifiers, which are intended to be used as "keys" to access information of each transgenic product in this database. |
Open EFSA
Public interface for all information related to EFSA’s scientific work. Here, one can follow the risk assessment process from receipt of the dossier to adoption of the opinion such as status of assessment, dossier, studies, and info on experts. This platform also includes data migrated from the former Register of Questions. |
RASFF portal
The Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) is a tool that enables the quick and effective exchange of information between Member States and the European Commission when risks to human and animal health are detected in the food and feed chain. All RASFF members (EU-27, the European Commission, EFSA, as well as Norway, Liechtenstein, Iceland and Switzerland as partial member) have a round-the-clock service to ensure that urgent notifications are sent, received, and addressed as fast as possible. |
USDA APHIS Biotechnology Permit and Notification
United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA-APHIS) regulates the import, movement within the U.S., and environmental release of genetically engineered plants, insects, and microbes that could pose a plant pest risk. A permit is a detailed, reviewed authorization needed when the organism may pose a plant pest risk. A notification is a streamlined faster alternative to a permit which needs to meet specific criteria. |
USDA APHIS Petitions
United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. Petitions for Determination of Nonregulated Status. The Regulatory Status Review (RSR) Table provides an overview of the RSR requests submitted to APHIS. GMOs determined to be non-regulated do not longer need to be regulated under USDA biotechnology rules. |
