What is Whole Foods Markets stance on food derived from cloned animals?
Whole Foods Market does not intend to sell meat or milk from cloned animals. We require producers who sell to us only use natural breeding or artificial insemination as acceptable breeding methods. In the meantime, we are waiting for the USDA to officially confirm that organic meat does not permit the use of cloned animals for breeders or the sale of meat or milk from cloned animals. Whole Foods Market also believes any food derived from cloned animals should be required to be labeled as such to allow consumers to make informed decisions on the meat and milk they buy.
