Petition for a Moratorium on Genetically
Petition For Mandatory Labeling, Safety Testing and Moratorium on Genetically
Engineered Foods.
Engineered Foods.
PETITION
A large and growing number of scientists and physicians
throughout the world are voicing serious concerns over the health and environmental risks
of genetically engineered foods and the irreversible genetic pollution of our natural food supply.
Therefore, we the undersigned, as citizens of the United States of America,
strongly urge the passage of legislation and policies to mandate
an immediate minimum 5-year moratorium on the release of all genetically engineered
organisms into any and all levels of the food chain—from seed to table—to ensure
the establishment of rigorous pre-market safety testing protocols and the continued
viability of an uncontaminated food source for America. Futhermore, we demand
full disclosure to the American consumer through the clear and accurate labeling
of all foods already on the market, derived from, processed with, containing or
consisting of genetically engineered organisms.
