Completed in conjunction with the International Forum on Globalization (IFG), the map outlines global initiatives involving the commercialization and labeling of GM crops and food. Different symbols on the map identify which countries:
- Signed the Biosafety Protocol;
- Ratified the Biosafety Protocol;
- Enforce required labeling laws;
- Enforce a moratorium or ban on commercialization;
- Have rejected GM food aid;
- Have regional regulations.

Because some symbols representing certain countries' current and proposed legislation may become outdated, CFS is committed to updating this list of worldwide regulations on a frequent basis in the following charts.
Worldwide Regulation, Prohibition and Production
