In January 2008, the U.S Food and Drug Administration declared milk and meat from cloned animals safe for human consumption, allowing cloned food products to enter the U.S. food supply.
What does this mean to us, as consumers in the grocery stores?
The USDA has not required labels to reflect whether the source of the milk or meat comes from cloned animals – so, when you go to your local grocer to buy a gallon of milk, or some steaks to grill, or hamburger, there is no telling where that meat or milk came from . The same holds true for the steak dinner you order from a restaurant – or the milk shake, or any other meal that you order out.
“Buyer beware” advise has moved from the real estate market to the food market…
