Cloned meat is meat that comes from animals that have been genetically engineered to have identical DNA to another animal.
According to the FDA, cloned meat is safe to eat and is held to the same safety standards as traditional meat. However, it is not yet widely available in stores.
Cloned meat is produced through a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer, where the nucleus from a donor cell is inserted into an egg cell and then implanted into a surrogate animal. This results in animals with identical DNA, whereas traditional meat comes from animals with varying DNA.
Currently, the FDA does not require cloned meat to be labeled differently from traditional meat. However, some companies may choose to label their products as "cloned" or "from cloned animals" for transparency.
The FDA regulates the production and sale of cloned meat as it falls under their jurisdiction for regulating food safety. They have determined that cloned meat is safe for consumption and have not placed any additional regulations on its production.
