Action Alert: PharmaCrops in the USA - deadline Tuesday
The Campaign to Label Genetically Engineered Foods

ProdiGene Inc. has requested permission from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) to grow corn in Texas genetically engineered to contain
two pharmaceutical components -- aprotinin and trypsinogen. The USDA's
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is requesting public comments, but they must be submitted no later than Tuesday night.

The Campaign to Label Genetically Engineered Foods feels the threat to the food supply from these so-called "PharmCrops" is so serious that we have established a separate PharmCrops web site at:
 http://www.pharmcrops.com

We have set up an ACTION ALERT on the PharmCrops web site so you can
instantly send comments on ProdiGene's permit requests to the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service at:
