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 In circumstances in which a use has been withdrawn by an agency, that use will no longer be listed.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.
