Are there any substantive differences between the conclusions in the draft and final versions of the cloning risk assessment regarding the consumption of food from clones?
Not really. As we stated in the Draft Risk Assessment, FDA has no concerns about the safety of food from cattle, swine (pig) or goat clones, or food from the progeny of a clone of a species traditionally consumed as food. Our conclusions were strengthened by the data that we evaluated since the publication of the draft. We did not, however, get more information that would allow us to make decisions regarding food from sheep clones or other species, and we do ask that producers continue to voluntarily keep food from clones of other species (e.g., sheep) out of the food supply.
