THE FDA THAT GENETICALLY ENGINEERED PRODUCTS The Food and Drug Administration is now accepting public comment on its proposed new rules on genetically engineered (GE) foods. Despite overwhelming consumer demand, the FDA has failed to require health and ecological safety testing or mandatory labeling, and thus puts your health and our environment at risk and deprives you of the right to know or choose what you are eating. The proposed rules: Do not require mandatory pre-market safety testing Do not require pre-market environmental review Do not require mandatory labeling of GE foods Restrict voluntary labeling of non-GE foods Require a mere letter of notification prior to the marketing of a GE food Fail to ensure public access to adequate information for independent review Are supported by industry and opposed by consumer groups The FDA needs to hear from hundreds of thousands of Americans that: * The FDA must require
mandatory pre-market comprehensive * The FDA must require
mandatory pre-market long-term health * The FDA must require
mandatory labeling of GE products. * The FDA must end
its cozy relationship with the industries PLEASE ACT TODAY eMail your comments
