Tell Congress to Support Labeling of Genetically Engineered 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. This
led the Center for Food Safety to submit a legal petition to the FDA
demanding that the agency require the labeling of GE foods. In response,

_Senator Barbara Boxer (CA) and Representative Peter DeFazio (OR) have
authored a bicameral Congressional letter in support of our legal petition and
will be urging their fellow Members on Capitol Hill to sign onto their
letter._

Unsuspecting consumers by the tens of millions are being allowed to
purchase and consume unlabeled genetically engineered foods, despite the fact
that FDA undertakes no testing of its own, instead relying only on a voluntary
consultation with industry and confidential industry data to assure
safety. Internal FDA documents discovered in prior CFS litigation actually
indicated the foods could pose serious risks, but those views were overruled.

Genetically engineered foods are required to be labeling in nearly 50
countries around the world including the United Kingdom, Australia, South
Korea, Japan, Brazil, China, New Zealand and many others. 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!

_Please write and call your U.S. Senators and Representative and urge them
to join the Boxer-DeFazio letter in support of labeling!_
