US Food and Drug Administration endorses cloned food (1/8/2007)
The USFDA said in a draft ruling that meat and milk from cloned animals is safe for human consumption. They’ve ruled that cloned cattle, pigs and goats produced food "as safe as the food we eat every day"
The recommendation comes after the completion of a five-year study on the safety of cloned foods. The study examined meat and milk products from cattle, pigs and goats, but not sheep. It concluded that the cloned animals produced food products indistinguishable from non-cloned animals.
Though this endorsement is a major step towards allowing cloned foods to be sold in US markets, a public consultation period will take place before final approval is given. The consultation period will also include a discussion regarding an agency suggestion that it is unlikely to recommend placing special labels on food from cloned animals.
Previously scientists in Japan had found Cloned cattle safe for human consumption.
