RE: Docket No. 00N-1396, and 00D-1598

Dear FDA,
 
Please, please safeguard the health and welfare of all Americans by 
 requiring that all genetically engineered (GE) foods be labeled as such. 
If some people want to pursue genetic engineering, I don't argue with 
their freedom to do so; I just don't want to eat the results! I would like 
every product with any trace of GE substance to inform customers in the 
ingredients section that it contains GE food. 

I am also surprised that your agency wouldn't be strict about safety 
testing for such products; please ensure that thorough tests are done on 
all GE products before they reach the market.

Sincerely,

Mary McGinnis
