From: Ian Gerbode [e_dogma@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2001 5:02 PM To: fdadockets@oc.fda.gov Subject: Docket OON-1396 and Docket OOD-1598 Hello, my name is Ian Gerbode. I am a US citizen and currently live in Northern California at the following address: 10775 Wunderlich Dr. Cupertino, CA, 95014. My phone #is 408)725-8809 I am concerned that genetically engineered foods are able to be brought to market for general consumption without appropriate safeguards to the consumer. I ask that the FDA please require genetically engineered foods to have the following safety restricions: 1) Mandatory pre-market safety testing 2) Mandatory pre-market safety reviews 3) Mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods You see, I am concerned about what I put into my body and want to know just what I am consuming. It seems only right that I be well informed about what spend my hard earned money on, and what I put into my body. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Ian Gerbode _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
