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 have severe food allergies.  I will not eat genetically modified foods nor will my family if we have the choice.  Currently, we all eat certified organic food only.  Please label these foods that I may avoid them (and therefore keep my doctor bills down!) 


Sincerely

Joanne Osborn
