Senator Carole Migden's new Bill (SB 63) requiring clear labeling of dairy and meat products from cloned animals sold in California awaits Governor Schwarzenegger's signature. The bill is designed to protect California consumers in the anticipated and irresponsible move by the FDA to approve the sale of cloned foods, without any labeling, to unsuspecting consumers. "In February, the Center for Food Safety released a critique of the FDA's review of food from animal clones, demonstrating that the FDA's safety claims are based on virtually no food-safety studies." Despite the fact that 89 percent of Americans want labels on cloned food products, the FDA is expected to ignore what Americans want and what's in their best interest and instead side with the meat and dairy industries allowing cloned dairy and meat from cattle, pigs and goats in our food supply without our knowledge.
