Genetically modified Salmon

[Guest guest]

Subject: Tell the FDA that we have a right to know what's in our food.

Hi all,

The FDA is on the brink of approving genetically engineered salmon for human

consumption. This would be the first genetically engineered animal on

supermarket shelves in the United States. The salmon is engineered to produce

growth hormones year-round that cause the fish to grow at twice the normal rate.

The government already requires labels to tell us if fish is wild-caught or

farm-raised - don't we also have a right to know if our salmon is genetically

engineered? Without labels, we'll never know.

More than forty countries, including Russia and China, already require labels on

genetically engineered foods. As an American, I firmly believe that we deserve

the same right to know what we are eating.

That's why I signed a petition to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which

says:

" Commissioner Hamburg, we urge the FDA to require the mandatory labeling of

genetically engineered foods. We have a right to know about the food we eat and

what we feed our families, but under current FDA regulations, we don't have that

ability when it comes to genetically engineered foods.

Polls show that more than 90% of Americans support mandatory labeling. Such

near-unanimity in public opinion is rare. Please listen to the American public

and mandate labeling of genetically engineered foods. "
