Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The FDA declared that food from cloned animals and their offspring was safe to eat but imposed a voluntary ban on the sale of cloned animals, which means that cloned animals cannot be sold for human or animal consumption in the US. The ban was put in place due to consumer concerns about the safety and ethical implications of cloning. However, the ban is voluntary, which means that it is up to the discretion of individual companies and farmers to adhere to it. Additionally, there is no labeling requirement for meat from offspring of cloned animals.
