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.

Let's not take the closing the barn doors after the horses are gone attitude with this one. Thank you for putting the good health of your customers ahead of your profit margin.


Sincerely

Julia  Gennert
