You Are Already Consuming Cloned Animal Products

Would food from clones be labeled?

No. FDA is not recommending any additional measures relating to food derived from adult clones and their offspring, including labeling. For instance, FDA scientists found that the milk components from dairy clones were of the same type and present in the same amounts as milk sold every day. Therefore there is no science-based reason to use labels to distinguish between milk derived from clones and that from conventional animals.

Is animal cloning allowed in other countries?

Can food products from these animals be sold for human consumption in other countries?

Scientists in many other countries are using cloning technology. Dolly the sheep was from Scotland. There are a number of livestock clones in Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, and South Korea, and other animals have been cloned in other countries (e.g., horses in Italy). It is our understanding, however, that no country has yet allowed food from animal clones in their food supplies.

Do findings in the Draft Risk Assessment for cloning animals further lead to cloning humans?

THE FDA DOES NOT BELIEVE SO!

The FDA believes that there are major unresolved safety questions and scientific issues pertaining to the use of cloning technology to create a human being. FDA's authorities and processes value and prioritize human life in medical research, as the Public Health Service Act and Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act offer protections for human subject research. The findings in the draft risk assessment do not alter FDA's position on the safety risks to cloning humans. Additionally, there are unresolved issues regarding the broader social and ethical implications of the use of cloning for humans.

I have an opinion on cloning and would like to voice it to FDA. How can I do that?
