Dear Corporate and Government Leaders,

Genetically engineered food ingredients or crops should not be allowed on the market until: 

1) Independent safety testing demonstrates they have no harmful effects on human health or the environment, 

2) They are labeled to ensure the consumer's right-to-know, and 

3) The biotechnology corporations that manufacture them are held responsible for any harm.

I am a vegan and I have the right to know exactly what happens to my food before I consume it. Millions of people are realizing that they should be able to understand labels and I feel that if you don't conform, you will be losing valuable customers!


Sincerely

Jennifer Steiger
