An Open Letter From Diverse Stakeholder Mushroom Companies On Nammex Citizen Petition To FDA

As mycologists, scientists, and industry experts, we are concerned by the public confusion being created and spread by this Citizen Petition about widely-accepted and settled terminology, and are moved to collectively write this open letter in response so that industry policies will be grounded in scientific accuracy.


I feel a strong duty to the Commons to make sure the truth does not get hijacked. Hence, I feel it is imperative to share this “Breaking News”.


This is critical for clear and sound regulations. We advocate for truth and scientific accuracy in labeling. In our opinion, the proposals being advocated by Nammex in their Citizen Petition do neither.
