Biotechnology industry regulations in the U.S. are governed by Coordinated Framework for Regulation of Biotechnology established in 1986. This framework outlines the federal policy for regulating products developed with the help of modern biotechnology. The country has three main Federal agencies the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services’ Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which ensure safe use of genetically modified/engineered organisms. In particular, the U.S. FDA is primarily responsible for ensuring safety, efficacy, proper labeling, and other attributes of human food, animal feed, and all plant-derived foods & feeds.
The EPA dictates regulations for pesticides, including plant-incorporated protectants, to ensure public safety. It also regulates the extent of pesticide residue present in food and feed. In addition, the APHIS hosts a Biotechnology Regulatory Services program that stipulates regulations regarding the use of genetically engineered organisms that may pose a risk to plant health.
