My particular concern on the process to completely change the 

2VAC 5-600-10 is as follows

I believe that GMO (genetically modified foods) 

"Organic" foods ad labeled by The US Department of Agriculture and  Food and Drug Adminstration

 

The sale of gluten free products

 

Labelling of allergens like wheat, peanuts, soy, dairy

 

The amount of antibiotics used on animals 

 

The trace levels of arsenic particularly in rice and apple juice along with other vegetables

The containation of seafood from foreign markets http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2013/11/imports-and-exports-how-safe-is-seafood-from-foreign-sources

MSG Levels

 

Dietary labels concern me 

as whether the amount of saturated fat as I deal with my physocal health and exercise

(whether a product has transfat)

Whether an artifical sweetner like aspartame or sucralose

(Splenda Stevia) goes into my water bottle 

Or is in my favorite Diet soda

How long food is left on store shelves

(Sell by date/expiration date)
