Written question asked by William Bain (Labour) on Wednesday, 30 March 2011, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Friday, 1 April 2011. It was answered by James Paice (Conservative) on Thursday, 28 April 2011 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Animal Products: Clones
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what the policy of her Department is on the sale of meat and milk products from the offspring of cloned animals.
- Answer
-
The European Commission and other member states do not consider that food from an animal descended from a clone falls within the scope of existing legislation on novel foods, which would require pre-market authorisation. The Food Standards Agency is considering results from a recent consultation before deciding whether to adopt the Commission’s position and expects to make an announcement shortly.
