• Second, I'd like to point out that FDA's current policy for dealing with new genetically engineered food products is one of voluntary consultation (unless your product is a suspected allergen or you've made substantial nutritional changes to a food) and, therefore, no official process for food safety testing of these products (but for the exceptions noted above) is actually required in this country. ...

• YF: I have argued that genetically modified foods suffer from poor marketing and that consumers will be more ready to accept fruits with novel and useful traits such as improved nutrition, rather than extensions of existing traits such as larger size or longer shelf life. ...
• BM: I agree and, I believe, many scientists and others in the ag biotech industry would too: consumers would be more accepting of genetically engineered products if those products had an obvious benefit for them. ... Unfortunately, most of the genetically engineered products that have been marketed since the Flavr Savr(TM) tomato do not exhibit direct consumer benefits. ...
• BM: 1) They should support the current proposal to change FDA's policy for dealing with new genetically engineered products from purely (with the significant exceptions of foods with substantial changes in nutritional content or containing suspected allergens) voluntary consultation to, at least, the mandatory notification procedure proposed by the Clinton administration. And, with an effort to keep certain business aspects confidential, submissions to that and other federal agencies regarding new genetically engineered food products should be publicly available. ...
