CLONED MEAT NOW IN U.S. FOOD SUPPLY

 

Although the USDA only recently removed a voluntary market

sale moratorium on foods from cloned animals, a Kansas

cattleman claims these products are already in the U.S.

food supply. " I have sold offspring of cloned animals into

feedlots, and they are in the food chain, " said Donald

Coover, a cattleman and veterinarian. Coover says he has

sold semen from clones to many US meat producers in the

past few years, and that others have been doing the same.

Despite strong public opposition, the FDA has announced

that these foods do not need to be labeled as such, so

consumers buying meat dairy and eggs don't know if the

product came from a cloned animal. Fortunately, the USDA

has clarified that foods labeled as " organic " cannot come

from cloned animals.
