Canada quietly clears cloned meat to be sold

By Heather Klein – The Winnipeg Sun

Canadians could soon be eating products derived from cloned animals without ever knowing it.

Health Canada has quietly moved to lift long-standing restrictions on foods derived from cloned cattle and swine, removing them from the country’s “novel foods” list — a category that requires pre-market safety reviews and public disclosure. Once implemented, the change means cloned-animal products could enter the food supply without labels, announcements, or public notification.
