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

Dear FDA,
 
Please require mandatory labeling for genetically engineered foods. I want 
 to be able to make informed choices about what I feed my family.

“Voluntary labeling” is not sufficient to give consumers the information 
needed.  It doesn't make sense to think that companies who might lose 
profits would be in control of deciding whether or not they should offer 
information on genetic engineered products to the public.  It is YOUR JOB, 
as the FDA to be sure that we are protected.  Please do not avoid your 
obligation in this matter.

Thank you for working on our behalf.

Sincerely,

Linda Crumley
