I just don't believe that can be true . . . that the food is fine. The creation of life is a bit too complicated for us to do without things going haywire. I'm sure it'll be a VERY long time before something like that is perfected and safe, if ever.

The agency is not requiring labeling or any other additional measures for food from cattle, swine, and goat clones, or their offspring because food derived from these sources is no different from food derived from conventionally bred animals. Should a producer express a desire for voluntary labeling (e.g., "this product is clone-free"), it will be considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure compliance with statutory requirements that labeling be truthful and not misleading.
