No Quick End For Cloning Product Moratorium - USDA

No Quick End For Cloning Product Moratorium - USDA US: April 8, 2008 WASHINGTON - The US Agriculture Department said Monday it will not lift a voluntary moratorium on selling meat and milk from cloned animals to consumers any time soon. In January, the US Food and Drug Administration ruled that products from cloned cattle, swine and goats and their offspring were as safe as milk and meat from traditional animals. Before then, farmers and ranchers had followed a voluntary ban on the sale of cloned products.
