Now that FDA has concluded that food from clones from specified species and from clone progeny is as safe as food from conventionally-bred species, is FDA lifting the voluntary moratorium?

The U.S. Department of Agriculture will convene stakeholders to discuss efforts to provide a smooth and orderly market transition, as industry determines next steps with respect to the existing voluntary moratorium.
