Yes, the database provides information on the uses for which each product has completed all required or recommended reviews in the United States.
Product uses are described in the database as: "food," "feed," or "planting". For each product, the database lists only those uses for which the product has completed all relevant procedures required or recommended by the regulatory agencies. Note that not all of the products in the database have completed reviews for all uses. For example, the database includes products that have completed reviews for food and/or feed uses, but have not completed reviews necessary for planting. In circumstances in which a use has been withdrawn by an agency, that use will no longer be listed.
"Food" use means that a product:
Has completed an FDA review for consumption by humans; and
If the product is a plant that contains a plant-incorporated protectant (PIP), the PIP has completed EPA reviews.
"Feed" use means that a product:
Has completed an FDA review for consumption by animals; and
If the product is a plant that contains a plant-incorporated protectant (PIP), the PIP has completed EPA reviews.
"Planting" use means that a product:
Has completed USDA-APHIS review for cultivation in the United States;
and
If the product is a plant that contains a plant-incorporated protectant (PIP), the PIP has completed EPA reviews.
Particular restrictions or conditions associated with "planting"
may be specified by EPA and/or USDA-APHIS. These conditions can
be found in the agency decision documents. To access agency
documents for a specific product, click on the "More Info" button
for that product and then click on the links to agency documents
provided on the U.S. Regulatory Agency Activity Summary Page.
While the United States makes every effort to keep these
links and this database accurate and current, it is the
responsibility of the reader to ascertain the use
conditions within the United States of any given product.
