Last year, the US Food and Drug Administration announced its decision that meat and milk from cloned animals were supposedly safe to eat - then it asked the cloning industry to follow a voluntary moratorium on putting these products on store shelves. But how can consumers be sure the moratorium is working? We can't, because there is no system in place to keep track of cloned farm animals and their offspring.
Unless the US Department of Agriculture creates a DNA-based tracking system, cloned animals will be invisible to food companies and will inevitably end up in the food supply. Many food companies have pledged to avoid cloned animals in their supply chains - but without a national tracking system it is hard for them to verify this pledge. Cloned animals and their offspring cannot be certified organic, but if we don't know where the cloned animals end up, this claim won't help much either.
Tell Congress to establish a national DNA-based tracking system for cloned animals and their offspring before these products end up in our food supply at
