| Cloned meat is safe for consumers, say US officials in 968-page report |
| US farmers have been given the green light to produce cloned meat for the human food chain. In a 968-page report billed as a “final risk assessment” of the technology, the US Food and Drug Administration has concluded that healthy cloned animals and products from them such as milk are safe for consumers. |
| cloning expert Professor Keith Campbell, of Nottingham University, who was part of the Dolly team, said: “With cloning we can actually collect cells from these animals, store them and bring them back from the dead, so to speak. We can then use them in breeding programmes … It’s a way of maintaining rare breeds without having to maintain the animals.” |
