Tell the FDA to Label Foods with Genetically Engineered Ingredients

In recent years, research sponsored by the Union of Concerned Scientists has shown that the widespread adoption of genetically engineered (GE) crops has led to increased herbicide use in the United States, while falling short of the biotech industry's promises for higher crop yields and more efficient fertilizer use. More modern, scientifically advanced agricultural practices achieve many of the objectives of GE crops, without many of the downsides.

Still, foods with GE ingredients are indistinguishable from non-GE varieties on supermarket shelves.

Consumers have a right to know what goes into the food they are purchasing for their families, and to choose to support more modern agricultural practices with their food dollars.

Write to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today and demand labels that disclose when foods contain GE ingredients!

Take Action Today!
