OIJ- r t`I F
Hawaii County Council COUNT,
Aloha mai kakou„
As a consumer and supporter of healthy food and agricultural practices in Hawaii, I
strongly urge you to oppose H.B. 1226 and any law prohibiting or preventing the state or
county from regulating GMOs in Hawaii. Community and consumer safety is endangered when
local governments are prohibited from taking every step to ensure public safety. Recent
food safety disasters (i.e., peanut butter and spinach recalls) affirm the need to
establish the broadest safety net possible. Consumers deserve and demand comprehensive
food safety standards, which must include state and county governments.
Mahalo, Kelly Prince
