The U.S. Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) is expected to declare as early as next week that meat and milk from cloned animals and their offspring is safe to eat, the
Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.
The FDA had previously asked producers of cloned livestock not to sell food products from such animals pending its ruling on their safety, the
Journal said on its Web site.
The decision would come after more than six years of wrestling with the question
and would be a milestone for a small cadre of biotech companies that want to make a business out of producing cloned farm animals.

Comment: The biotech companies score another win with the FDA. Surprise, surprise.
And why, you may ask, should we take the FDA's approval rating for cloned cow to be factual? Good question! The FDA also stated that genetically modified foods are just fine to eat, too. And there are studies that show that this is not, in fact, the truth.
The REAL Reasons You Want to Avoid Genetically Modified Foods goes into these studies. And if the FDA is pulling one over on us here, what is to say that they are not doing the same with cloned cow?
One should always ask, "who benefits", even in instances like this. And the big winners, as mentioned above are the biotech businesses. This is all for them, and like always, the little people who make up the majority of this planet of people are not considered in the least, except to beguile into buying the stuff. And the FDA tells us, "It's okay, trust us."
