Subject: Irradiation Labeling, Docket No 98N-1038



Food and Drug Administration, Dockets Management Branch
5630 Fishers Lane, Room 1061
Rockville, MD 20857

Dear Food and Drug Administration, Dockets Management Branch,

I just cannot belive you want to change the labels
of irradiated foods. Aren't people confused enought?
Every American has the right to be able to understand
what's one buys. If you introduce the new misleading
labels you will take this right away from us. We have
the right to know what is in the food, and how it was
prepared. Irradtited foods doesn't taste the same,
and it might even be harmful to our health. I wish
to have a choice in whether I buy it or not. The only
way to do it is to clearly informy me of whether a
given food item was irradiated or not. 



Sincerely,
