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.

Please do at least two years of testing before giving companies the right to sell their GE products.  There may be natural/environmental issues that can occur without proper testing first.  Thank you


Sincerely
