Dear FDA Commissioner:

As a member of the public, I urge you to invest more resources to ensure
that:

1.  Food labels completely and accurately list the presence of all known
allergens, including those used in flavorings;
2.  Food manufacturers adopt measures to prevent the unintentional
contamination of their products with undeclared food allergens; and
3.  Food manufacturers include a toll-free number on their labels that
consumers can call for more information about ingredients.

I also think you should force food manufacturers to include "trans fatty
acids"  and the fat grams from such on their labels when their product
contains this ingredient.  I think this is harming the health of our nation.

Sincerely,
Robin Pettett
