Please support the requirement of full and clear
labeling of all genetically modified/genetically 
engineered (GE) foods and foods that have been produced 
with the aid of genetically modified foods/drugs.

As I understand, current FDA rules do not require 
safety testing, mandatory labeling and other consumer 
protections for GE foods. In addition, strong evidence 
exists that GE foods can cause harm to humans and 
to the environment. 

Some of us do not wish to consume GE foods.It is our
RIGHT and should be our CHOICE.

If the FDA's mission is to protect the American consumer.  
then please do so by requiring producers to 
LABEL ALL GE FOODS CLEARLY!


Cordially,
