From: Tommeliam Bradaigh [guns-n-roses45@juno.com] Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 1:34 PM To: fdadockets@oc.fda.gov Cc: guns-n-roses45@juno.com; Creid@MAIL.NYSED.GOV Subject: Docket No. 00D-1598 Dockets Management Branch (HFA-305) Food and Drug Administration; 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061 Rockville, MD 20852 Please revise your proposed rules to require that food producers/processors are mandated to provide clear and consistent labelling of foods that contain genetically engineered/modified components. This would ensure that consumers are reliably informed about the contents of their food choices, resulting in an increase of consumer confidence in the safety of the American food supply, and of the effectiveness and integrity of the FDA, the guardian thereof. Sincerely, Tommeliam Bradaigh PO Box 1843 Albany, NY 12201-1843
