This goes back to everyone is in control, yet nobody is in control. The one statement below says it all, technology is out of control, and this is just one example. Do we really know if we are consuming products from cloned animals? Can the FDA tell us this safe? Nobody has the answers we seek. With companies feeling the economic pinch, who knows what will come next, but be aware. 
The FDA has put out a request asking manufacturers not to utilize products from cloned animals, but it leaves out the cows, gives one more new meaning to "when the cows come in". Some companies stated they would avoid using cloned animals, but how do we know for sure, we don't. Is there any real danger?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Food and milk from the offspring of cloned animals may have entered the U.S. food supply, the U.S. government said on Tuesday, but it would be impossible to know because there is no difference between cloned and conventional products.
"It worries me that this technology is out of control in so many ways," said Charles Margulis, a spokesman with the Center for Environmental Health. The possibility of offspring being in the food supply "is just another element of that," he said.
FDA and USDA have said it is impossible to differentiate between cloned animals, their offspring and conventionally bred animals, making it difficult to know if offspring are in the food supply.
