Just in time for Halloween, the Food and Drug Administration is discussing its regulation of nanotechnology, a powerful new technology for taking apart and reconstructing nature at the atomic and molecular level.  While FDA recently held its first meeting on nanotechnology, the agency is behind the curve: Many products are already on market shelves that contain unlabeled nanomaterials, including food and food packaging products.  Thus far, nanotechnology-laced products are treated by FDA like any other products or product ingredients; yet scientists agree that nanoparticles are fundamentally different substances that create new and unique risks to human health and the environment and need new forms of safety testing. 

A public comment period is open now through November 10th - Take action now!

**Please note that due to the difficulties many of you have had posting public comments to the regulations.gov site, and the FDA's decision to only allow electronic comments through that site, we will be collecting your comments to deliver to FDA at the close of the comment period (November 10th).
