RE: Docket No. 00N-1396, and 00D-1598

Dear FDA,
 
I eat genetically engeneered food often but I am greatly concerned about 
 your policies which apply to these foods. We are years behind other 
countries that require labeling of genetically engeneered food. More 
importantly these foods need to be tested before they are marketed. 
Genetic manipulation can affect dramatic changes in otherwise innocuous 
foods and there is no guarantee they are safe unless tested before they 
are marketed. I am for genetic engeneering of food but I think your 
regulations of these products needs to be greatly improved. 
                       
 
Sincerely,
Scott Karbiner
