In 2001, when it became apparent that animal cloning may become a commercial venture to help improve the quality of herds, FDA requested livestock producers and researchers to keep food from animal clones or their offspring out of the food supply. Since then, FDA has conducted an intensive evaluation that included examining the safety of food from these animals and the risk to animal health.

Based on a final risk assessment, a report written by FDA scientists and issued in January 2008, FDA has concluded that meat and milk from cow, pig, and goat clones and the offspring of any animal clones are as safe as food we eat every day.

A Seven year study has produced findings that meat and milk from cloned cows, pigs and goats was as good for us as non-cloned animals. This could mean we’ll be seeing more and more cloned food in our stores. Will they be required to label it? Could this be the first steps in doing away with having to use hormones and other chemicals? It’s an interesting development and one I’ll be watching closely. Read the details of the FDA Cloning Report yourself. What do you think?
