Kay’s note: Organic products (milk, meat, etc.) are NOT allowed to be from cloned animals.
“After years of debate, the US Food and Drug Administration officially ruled this week that meat and milk from cloned animals is safe.”
“But while one US official made the safety announcement, another asked owners of cloned animals to continue a ‘voluntary moratorium’ until market acceptance catches up with the scientific safety assessment.”
“Trade officials were reportedly critical of the FDA’s assessment as the agency prepared to release it to the public, knowing that products from clones are a tough sell to some US export markets, notably Japan and Europe.”
