Biotechnology Consultations Inventory
The inventory of Biotechnology Consultations on Food from GE Plant Varieties lists all completed final consultations about bioengineered foods. Each record in the inventory
- Identifies the consultation by a file number (biotechnology notification file number; BNF No.);
- Identifies the food crop that was modified;
- Describes the new or altered trait encoded by the new or altered genes;
- Provides the developer's distinctive designation for the subject of the consultation and, if available, the Unique Identifier used internationally;

- The developer's name and address;
- The application(s) of the food (e.g., in human food, animal feed, or both);
- Description of the Trait, the added protein or DNA that confers the trait, the source organism from which the trait was obtained, and its intended effect;

- The date of the agency's final memorandum describing information about the new bioengineered plant in the submission and a link to the text of that memorandum.
