RE: GENETICALLY ENGINEERED (GE) FOODS AND ITS SAFETY

DEAR FDA:

FDA MUST REQUIRE MANDATORY PRE-MARKET LONG-TERM HEALTH TESTING BECAUSE GE 
PRODUCTS COULD BE TOXIC, CAUSES ALLERGY, HAS LOWER NUTRITION AND COULD 
COMPROMISE IMMUNE RESPONSES IN CONSUMERS.

FDA MUST REQUIRE MANDATORY LABELING OF GE PRODUCTS SO I CAN KEEP THEM AWAY 
FROM MYSELF AND MY FAMILY (WE HAVE HISTORY OF IMMUNE PROBLEMS).  WITHOUT 
MANDATORY LABELING CONSUMERS WILL KNOW IF AN ALLERGIC OR TOXIC REACTION WAS 
THE RESULT OF A GE FOOD OR NOT.

FDA MUST STOP BEING SO 'IN BED' WITH THE INDUSTRIES IT SAYS ITS 
'REGULATING'.  THERE IS SIMPLY TOO MUCH SWINGING DOORS BETWEEN WORKING FOR 
FDA AND BIOTECH COMPANIES ETC. DON'T LET WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE FDA ON 
NUTRASWEET COLUSION HAPPEN WITH GE FOOD.  THERE'S SIMPLY TOO MUCH CONFLICT 
OF INTEREST.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! GE FOOD MUST BE LABELED!!!

LINNETTE M. BECK, AP, OMD
