Subject: No More Tricks! Label GE Foods

Tell FDA and Obama No More Tricks: Label GE Foods!

The Center for Food Safety recently filed a formal legal petition with FDA

demanding that the agency require the labeling of genetically engineered foods.

Now, we are spearheading a drive with over 350 other organizations and

businesses in the Just Label It! Campaign, to direct one million comments to the

FDA in support of our petition.

Genetically engineered foods are required to be labeled in the 15 European

Union nations, Russia, Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand, and many other

countries around the world. A recent poll released by ABC News found that 93

percent of the American public wants the federal government to require

mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods. As ABC News stated, “Such

near-unanimity in public opinion is rare.” Yet the United States is one of the

only countries in the world that doesn’t require labeling of GE food!

In the U.S., we pride ourselves on having choices and making informed

decisions. Under current FDA regulations, we don't have that choice when it

comes to GE ingredients in the foods we purchase and feed our families.

Americans have been asking Congress to pass a labeling law for more than 10

years, to no avail. It’s time to take the fight back to FDA—bigger and louder

than ever before.

Tell FDA and President Obama to label genetically engineered foods!
