You would like to know where gene technology has possibly been used on plants and foodstuffs? You will find more information in the TransGen database where there are entries for plants, foodstuffs, ingredients, additives, and enzymes. You can access information about the current status of gene technology for almost all crop plants. You can find worldwide statistics concerning releases of GMO into the environment, and approvals. You can make a picture for yourself, to show the production and processing status of genetically manipulated organisms. At present, the database search is made with a search port in the right-hand sidebar of the project website. ... [Information of the supplier, translated and modified]
This GM contamination register is the first of its kind in the world. Genetically modified crops were first commercially grown on a wide scale in 1996. But, there has always been concern about their effects on both health and the environment. A specific concern has been that once released, it would not be possible to contain or control these organisms yet there is no global monitoring system. Because of this failure of national and international agencies, GeneWatch UK and Greenpeace International launched this joint initiative in 2005 to record all incidents of contamination arising from the intentional or accidental release of genetically modified (GM) organisms (which are also known as genetically engineered (GE) organisms). It also includes illegal plantings of GM crops and the negative agricultural side-effects that have been reported. Only those incidents which have been publically documented are recorded here. There may be others that are, as yet, undetected. This site is intended to be a resource for individuals, public interest groups and governments. The register can be searched to see where, when and how contamination has taken place. It includes information about, and links to, sources and the GeneWatch UK and Greenpeace web sites as well as other useful sites. ... [Information of the supplier]
