“No products from cloned animals in organic foof in the USA”.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b></b>The
Organic Trade Association (OTA) reiterated that meat, milk and other
products produced from cloned animals will not be able to be sold as
organic in the United States. OTA issued the reassurance after the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced its conclusion that foods
from cloned animals and their offspring are as safe as those produced
from traditionally bred animals. The national organic standards
enforced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture require that organisms
be developed and grown by systems that must be compatible with natural
conditions and processes. Cloning as a production method is
incompatible with the Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA) and is
prohibited under the National Organic Program regulations. Organic
animal products will not come from cloned animals. In the future,
consumers who seek to avoid cloned meat, dairy or other animal products
should look for the organic label on products.<br></div><i>Fonte di informazione:</i> Organic Trade Association, 21/01/2008, www.ota.com.
