A national biotechnology industry group is supporting
the FDA in its recent report that cloned meats and milk
meet food safety standards.
“BIO strongly supports the FDA’s risk assessment,
which concludes that meat and milk products from animal
clones and their offspring are safe for human consumption,
and are no different from foods from livestock produced
through other breeding methods,” said Jim Greenwood,
president of CEO of the Biotechnology Industry Organization.
The statement was in response to a risk assessment published
recently by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regarding
the safety of milk and meat products from cloned animals
and their offspring.
“Livestock cloning is the latest step in a long
history of reproductive tools for farmers and ranchers,
and can effectively help livestock producers deliver
what consumers want – high-quality, safe, abundant
and nutritious foods in a consistent manner,” Greenwood
said.
BIO represents more than 1,150 biotechnology companies,
academic institutions, state biotechnology centers and
related organizations across the United States and in
more than 30 other nations. BIO members are involved
in the research and development of innovative healthcare,
agricultural, industrial and environmental biotechnology
technologies.
