An unexpected Organic shopping experience at Food Lion, written by an experienced organic shopper.

By allowing GE foods to be marketed without proof of safety, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is violating its own laws; and it attempts to justify this violation by fallacious arguments. While FDA administrators acknowledge that pieces of foreign DNA spliced into an edible plant (and all substances produced by them) are in principle food additives, they claim these genes and gene-products are exempt from the testing ordinarily required for additives because they are “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS). This claim is patently false.
