Dear Commissioner Henney,

Although I am not an American, I feel concerned about the lack of testing and 
safety standards towards genetically engineered foods. I find it horribly 
unfair that the large biotech firms are not required to label what is or isn't 
bio-engineered, while smaller companies have to bear cost to prove that their 
products have no GE ingredients.

For the sake of public safety, I urge you to rethink this proposal, and ensure 
that all GE foods are properly tested and labelled in all fairness to the 
consumer, the family farm and the environment.

Sincerely,

A. Ferguson
