Canadians could soon be eating products derived from cloned animals without ever knowing it.

Health Canada has quietly moved to lift long-standing restrictions on foods derived from cloned cattle and swine, removing them from the country’s “novel foods” list — a category that requires pre-market safety reviews and public disclosure. Once implemented, the change means cloned-animal products could enter the food supply without labels, announcements, or public notification.

The shift stems from a policy review launched in 2023. Health Canada, working with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, concluded that meat, milk, and other foods from cloned cattle and swine are compositionally indistinguishable from those of conventionally bred animals.
“Scientific evidence indicates that foods derived from clones of cattle and swine, and their offspring, do not present greater risks to human health, animal health, or the environment,” Health Canada stated in its consultation materials.

They make it sound ok but sounds ghoulish to me. Maybe a step up from lab grown meat?

All that MAiD meat isn't going to waste, either.

How are cloned animals coming along, that's what I'm curious about. When perfected I would have no problem with cloned animal meat (better than lab grown, more 'natural') I still think if should be ladled if people want it. Hell they label kosher and halal, right?

Nonviable GMO cattle with phytoestrogen tissue, it's what's for dinner.

Yeah, I'm sure they would be modified, not just cloned.

Since Dolly the sheep back in the day I bet they have gone all out and I personally believe they have more than likely cloned humans too.

Hopefully they do not start cloning jeets..... not that they really need to...

Consumers and ranchers need to push back on this. Seems a much bigger deal than GMOs.

Just a question about cloned animals, how are you going to gestate them? I don't believe artificial wombs are available yet and if you gestate them in other animals what's the advantage?

You can grow meat on the petri dish now a days. They will most likely need to crap ton of dyes to make it look like regular meat as the muscle will not even be used at all.
