Tell the FDA to Label Genetically Engineered Foods!


 

Monsanto, Nestlé, Dow and Pepsi don’t want genetically engineered foods to be labeled, but more than 90% of Americans do.

The Food and Drug Administration could require mandatory GMO labeling as part of their new nutrition label, and give people the right to know what’s in their food.

Please join Food & Water Watch in telling FDA to require labeling of all genetically engineered ingredients on the new nutrition label.

Thanks for all you do!
