Is it genetically engineered?  You don't know -- because the FDA won't tell you... GMOs & the Next President of the United States During 2007, The Campaign generated thousands of letters into the offices of the presidential candidates. As a result, both of the remaining Democratic candidates are on board in support of mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods if elected President. Unfortunately, except for Representative Ron Paul, we have not had the same success with the Republican candidates. Please click here to participate in the effort to get the Republican John McCain to take a position on this important issue. Democrats -both support labeling!  Obama  Clinton Republicans - we need more letters to McCain!  McCain  Paul  Click Here to Take Action Now! Stay informed on the latest GMO news! Click here to read The GMO News Update. Frequently Asked Questions Question: Why don't the food manufacturers and the biotech companies want you to know if your foods have been genetically engineered? Answer: Because if they are labeled, you will start asking questions such as "Have these genetically engineered foods been safety tested on humans?" The answer to that question is NO! Question: Doesn't the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) require genetically engineered foods to be safety tested like they do for new drugs and food additives before they are sold to the public for consumption? Answer: NO! With limited exceptions, under current FDA regulations, companies are not even required to notify the agency they are bringing new genetically engineered products to the market. Question: How much of the food I buy in the grocery stores contain genetically engineered ingredients? Answer: Since genetically engineered soy and corn are used in many processed foods, it is estimated that over 70 percent of the foods in grocery stores in the U.S. and Canada contain genetically engineered ingredients. Question: Are people all over the world eating genetically engineered foods? Answer: No, all of the European Union nations, Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand and many other countries require the mandatory labeling of foods that contain genetically engineered ingredients. As a result, food manufacturers in all those countries choose to use non-genetically engineered ingredients. Question: Are you telling me that people in the United States and Canada are eating a lot more genetically engineered foods than in many other countries in the world? Answer: Yes, citizens in the United States and Canada are engaged in the largest feeding experiment in human history and most people are not even aware of the fact. Question: What countries are growing genetically engineered crops? Answer: There were only five countries that grew about 98 percent of the $44 billion of commercial genetically engineered crops in 2003-2004. Those five countries were: the United States ($27.5 billion), Argentina ($8.9 billion), China ($3.9 billion), Canada ($2.0 billion) and Brazil ($1.6 billion). Question: What can I do to help properly regulate genetically engineered foods so that I can rest assure that these experimental crops will not harm human health or the environment? Answer: The single most important step you can take is to mail three letters using the U.S. Postal Service. One letter goes to your Congressional Representative in the U.S. House of Representatives and the other two to your state's two Senators serving in the U.S. Senate. The letters request that they support legislation to label genetically engineered foods. We have form letters on this web site for this purpose. Click here for more information. A brief word about terminology  Analysts use many different phrases to describe genetically engineered foods. The biotech industry rarely uses the phrase "genetically engineered foods," sticking with the more bland (and less controversial) phrase "biotech foods." In Europe, genetically engineered foods are more commonly referred to as genetically modified foods, genetically altered foods or GMOs (short for genetically modified organisms). But scientists generally agree that "genetically engineered" more accurately represents the process than "genetically modified." Supporters of biotech foods often try to argue that we have been genetically modifying our foods for centuries, through a process known as hybridization, or interbreeding. But that process is far different than the recombinant DNA splicing used in modern agricultural biotechnology. It is interesting to note that the eleventh edition of the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary added the word "Frankenfood" as another term to describe genetically engineered food.
