Food and Drug Administration ,

Please require that all genetically modified food be labelled under penalty of law.  The public deserves to know what we are eating. 

Voluntary labeling guidelines are not enough.  It must be mandatory.

I urge you to reconsider these proposed guidelines and insure that GE
foods are subject to pre-market testing and labeling.
Americans deserve the same protections as the rest of the
world.
