Definitions

Genetically engineered (GE) foods, sometimes referred to as genetically modified (GM) foods, are created by artificially inserting genetic material from one or more organisms into the genetic code of another using modern genetic engineering techniques.

Labeling threshold is a percentage of GE content above which the product must be labeled.

In order to create this map, CFS interpreted current law and expert analysis to determine how best to represent large amounts of information in a straightforward graphic design. Each labeling regime has unique variations that are impossible to fully represent on a map. These laws are dynamic and subject to amendment.
