Dear FDA Friends:

Please respond to the concern of thousands of citizens and business
entities that are calling for mandatory labeling of genetically engineered
foods. We must have mandatory labeling and independent, pre-market safety
testing of foods. I am sure you are well informed about the crucial nature
of this matter. 

Sincerely,

Stephanie Mertens, ASC
