It is also investigating the dairy issue and said“We have traced a single animal, Dundee Paradise, which is believed to be part of a dairy herd but at present we cannot confirm that milk from this animal has entered the food chain. As part of this investigation local authority officials are visiting the farm on which this herd is kept."
The European Food Safety Administration (EFSA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have both checked the products and have stated that they believe them to be safe. In 2008 EFSA stated that No clear evidence has emerged to suggest any differences between food products from clones or their offspring, in terms of food safety, compared to products from conventionally bred animals. But we must acknowledge that the evidence base, while growing and showing consistent findings, is still small.”
Cloning of animals and other organisms will continue with the advantages it gives. However, there will be ongoing review and research by Food Authorities around the world to monitor the safety of this growing science.
