AFP reports that on May 4th, an EU parliamentary committee rejected a proposal to allow food from cloned animals and their offspring onto the European market. However in the U.S., meat and milk from the offspring of cloned animals has been allowed into the American food supply since 2008 and do not require labels stating this distinction.
The Federal Dept. of Agriculture also produced this guide "Animal Cloning and the Food Safety" to reassure consumers that these animals are fit for human consumption. If there were labels on food, would you still eat these products?
