Tell FDA that Nanotechnology Must Not Be Used in Organic Food Production!

Nanotechnology is the process of manipulating matter at the atomic and molecular level. It has no place in organic food. Like genetic modification, it is the antithesis of the organic concept. Canada amended its national organic rules to ban nanotechnology in food production as a “Prohibited Substance or Method.”

The FDA has just released its draft guidance for regulated industries describing what to consider when determining whether a product uses nanotechnology or nanomaterials. The comment period is open for 60 days. Please tell FDA that nanotechnology must not be used on organic foods, or else those foods must be stripped of their organic certification.
