I am concerned about rumors I have heard that so-called "genetically 
engineered" foods will have no mandatory labeling requirements.

I find the current labeling standards regarding nutrition and content 
very helpful in making choices about what foods to purchase. I am very 
concerned that I will not have a choice whether to include or exclude 
genetically engineered products when I shop.

I find the lack of mandatory labeling unacceptable.
