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

Dear FDA,
 
I am deeply concerned about your new policies on genetically engineered 
 (GE)foods. Despite overwhelming consumer demand, your agency still fails 
to require safety testing and mandatory labeling for GE foods. 

I would like the FDA rules on GE foods to include:

-Mandatory pre-market human and environmental safety testing (not done by 
the corporation marketing the food)

-Mandatory labeling of GE foods

-No limits on non-GE labeling

-Information on GE foods for independent review

Please do not ignore the public's cry for the testing and labeling of GE 
food.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Risley
