Bill Would Require Labels on Cloned Food

Posted by samzenpus on from the it-tastes-exactly-the-same dept.

ComeBack writes "Steaks, pork chops, milk and other products from cloned livestock would have to be clearly labeled on grocers' shelves under a bill pending in the California Legislature. If passed, the requirement could be more stringent than federal rules. The Food and Drug Administration is poised to give final approval to meat and milk from cloned animals without any special labeling, though a bill introduced in Congress would require it."

  1. Scientific consensus: GM foods are safe by Kohath · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    There's a scientific consensus that GM foods are safe.

    We should listen to a "scientific consensus" when they say climate change will kill us all, but we shouldn't listen to them when they say GM foods are safe?

  2. Why not? by cdrguru · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    What would be wrong with requiring a label on all such products that has a skull and crossbones with the words "DO NOT EAT"?

    Probably have the same effect, wouldn't you think?
