Stop FDA from Approving More Unsafe Irradiated Foods!

Food irradiation is the process of exposing foods to ionizing radiation - gamma rays, electron beams, or X-rays - to kill bacteria, parasites, insects, or fungi that can cause spoilage or make people sick. Currently, it is used on just a small part of the food supply, such as many herbs and spices. But, industry groups propose major expansion of its use on other foods, when there is substantial evidence that irradiated food is not safe for human consumption.

Help CFS urge FDA to do further research before more irradiated food goes on sale! www.foodsafetynow.org

Tell the FDA to Impose a Moratorium on the Approval of Genetically Engineered(GE) Fish!

Currently, there are several companies developing genetically engineered fish, and at least one company that is presently requesting approval from the FDA to market genetically engineered fish to consumers. FDA is currently considering allowing sales of genetically engineered fish to fish-farming operations and consumers, making them the first genetically engineered animals to land on consumer's dinner plates.

These animals pose irreversible impacts to the environment and unnecessary risks to human health. Tell the FDA not to approve GE fish for the market!
