A coalition of nearly 400 businesses and organizations dedicated to food safety and consumer rights has filed a legal petition with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to require labeling of genetically engineered foods, to give consumers the right to know what is in our food.


The group includes such diverse participants as the American Nurses Association, breastcancer.org, Center for Food Safety, Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union (publishers of Consumer Reports), Franciscan Action Network, National Cooperative Grocers Association, Physicians for Social Responsibility, Union of Concerned Scientists, numerous food companies and many more.


A recent Thomson Rueters Pulse Healthcare Survey showed that 93 percent of Americans beleive GE foods should be labeled. Are you one of these people? To learn more watch this video or visit the campaign's website.
