Dear FDA,

I am very concerned about genetically modified foods and their potential 
adverse effect on the health of consumers. I feel it is only prudent to label 
all genetically modified foods, or foods that conain genetically modified 
ingredients, so that consumers like myself can choose not to ingest them. I 
also favor testing of genetically modified foods before marketing, which I 
understand is not fully done now. 

I understand there must be huge pressure from the companies that promote 
genetically engineered food products to get them on the market. This must not 
over rule the FDA's role in insuring public safety and education.

Please require labelling of all genetically modified food substances, and 
proper premarket testing to insure safety.

THank you,
