Tell FDA to regulate unlabeled and untested engineered
nanomaterials in food!
Take action at http://ga3.org/ct/v7_06yY1cmUd/ 

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 held 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!
