To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to protest your new standards regarding the use of genetically engineered or genetically altered foods.

Pre-market safety testing should be mandatory.

There should be a pre-market environmental review.

There should be mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods.

There should be no restriction of voluntary labeling of non-genetically engineered foods.

I feel very strongly about this situation, and I plan on alerting my congress-people to represent my views.

Thank you

Dean Howell, ND
