FDA: Cloned Meat, Dairy Possibly In Food Supply

Milk; by striaticAs usual, they insist that they just don't know:

The FDA has admitted that meat and milk from the offspring of cloned mammals such as cows, pigs, goats and sheep could very well have already entered the food supply in the United States.

... In January, the FDA declared that foods derived from cloned animals and their offspring were safe for human consumption. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, however, asked food companies to voluntarily maintain a ban on products from clones. ...

Because those voluntary bans work so well. Criminy.

Farm prices for milk are already collapsing, and it seems like the US food production industry is full up on hits to its credibility for the moment. Why would anyone overseas who had a choice buy mainstream American food products?
