To whom it may concern,
 
I am writing this in response to the FDA's new rules on genetically engineered foods.
 
I am growing very weary of the FDA's refusal to accept consumer's demand to LABEL & REGULATE genetically engineered foods.
 
I demand that the FDA stop the foot dragging if favor of big business to the hurt of consumers.
 
The FDA MUST: 
1) Require the mandatory labeling of GE foods.  This must include labeling of any ingredient that is from GMO's.
 
2) Require a mandatory pre-market review of any GE crop and/or food.
 
3) Require pre-market safety testing of ANY potential GE crop and/or food.
 
The FDA is supposed to protect consumers NOT big industry which is exactly what it is doing now.
