Subject: Docket 00N-1396 & Docket 00D-1598

To Whom It May Concern:

The FDA has to require mandatory labeling of GE
products.  Consumers have the right to know not only
what is in the food that they are putting into their
bodies and the bodies of their children but whether or
not the food they are eating has been genetically
engineered or not.  This will allow consumers to make
educated decisions on what they buy.  It is their
right.  I believe the reason it is not advertised when
a product has been genetically engineered is because
it is not as safe as it is proposed to be.

All GE products should be labeled appropriately.

Sincerely,

Shirley A. Cote
