Bernard Schwetz, MD
U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Dear Dr. Schwetz,

I am writing because I oppose the weakening of labeling requirements for
irradiated food.  Labeling needs to be clear and conspicuous.    The use of words
such as "cold pasteurization" or "electronic pasteurization" are deceptive.

I ask that you act to protect consumers' right to know if their food has been
irradiated and not allow the labeling requirements to be weakened.
