Read below to see how you can submit feedback to FDA on proposed inclusion of

unlabelled nano-foods in the food supply chain. Sara R.

Dear Sara,

Tell FDA to regulate unlabeled and untested engineered nanomaterials in food!

Just in time for Halloween, the Food and Drug Administration is discussing

regulation of nanotechnology, a powerful new technology for taking apart and

reconstructing nature at the atomic and molecular level. While FDA recently hed

its first meeting on nanotechnology, the agency is behind the curve: Many

products are already on market shelves that contain unlabeled nanomaterials,

including food and food packaging products. Thus far, nanotechnology-laced

products are treated by FDA like any other products or product ingredients; yet

scientists agree that nanoparticles are fundamentally different substances that

create new and unique risks to human health and the environment and need new

forms of safety testing.

A public comment period is open now through November 10th - please let FDA

know you don't want scary nanomaterials in food!
