Food and Drug Administration ,

I am extremely concerned that the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) has proposed regulations that still
fail to require labels or safety tests on genetically
engineered (GE) food. 

It is an outrage that European countries require labeling for consumer protection while we in the U.S. have to play Russian Roulette with our foods. Even the Russians have this protection!
 
FDA appears to be playing politics with
our food, disregarding science-based precautions that other
countries have implemented.

I urge you to reconsider this proposal and insure that GE
foods are subject to pre-market testing and labeling.
Americans deserve the same protections as the rest of the
world.
