While the scientific controversy continues to rage more and more people have been asking themselves "When is a product safe?" Many are uncomfortable that this decision has largely been left up to the companies that profit from their sale. For years, these companies have followed a process of "voluntary consultation" with governmental regulatory agencies. Even the Food and Drug Administration's recently proposed "mandatory notification" policy still does not require companies to provide complete data for review, long term or comprehensive health or environmental testing, and requires only a 120 day notification of a company's intent to market a new biotech product. Ironically, genetically engineered food products -- which have never existed in the food chain before - face much less stringent testing requirements than common food additives such as food coloring, monosodium glutamate (MSG), aspartame, and preservatives.
