Consumer opposition to milk and meat from clones is causing major food companies, restaurants, and grocery stores to reject food from clones.  Your voice is being heard – don’t stop now.  We need your help in sending a strong message to food producers, restaurants and grocers that consumers do not want foods from cloned animals or their offspring. 

Twenty of America’s leading food producers, restaurants, and retailers have said that they will not use cloned animals in their food in response to surveys sent by the Center for Food Safety and Friends of the Earth. 

Companies include Kraft Foods; General Mills; Gerber/Nestle; Campbell Soup Company; Gossner Foods; Smithfield Foods; Ben & Jerry’s; Amy’s Kitchen; California Pizza Kitchen restaurants; Hain Celestial; Cloverland, Oberweis, Prairie, Byrne, Plainview, and Clover-Stornetta Dairies; and grocers PCC Natural Markets, Albertsons, SUPERVALU, and Harris Teeter.  The move by these companies represents a growing industry trend of responding to consumer demand for better food safety, environmental, and animal welfare standards. We need more to follow suit to protect our food supply since FDA refuses to do so.

As you may recall, FDA recently approved the sale of meat and milk from cloned animals and declared it safe, despite scant data to support its claim.  As a result, FDA will not require any special procedures for tracking or handling food products from clones or their offspring.  It also will not require labeling on such food, depriving consumers of their right to know the process used to produce the milk and meat products they eat. This action comes at a time when Congress has voted twice to delay FDA’s decision on cloned animals until additional safety and economic studies can be completed. 

Ben & Jerry’s, Amy’s Kitchen, Clover-Stornetta, Oberweis Dairy, Prairie Farms Dairy, Plainview Dairy, PCC Natural Markets, and Hain Celestial have gone one step further by stating that they would not use ingredients from clones or their offspring.  The Center for Food Safety, Friends of the Earth, and the American Anti-Vivisection Society are working to obtain more commitments of this kind.  This is where YOU come in...

Let food companies know you won’t buy food from clones.
