I know the defintion of cloning and grafting. I didn't ask what those two terms mean I asked when cloned animals food will be released at stores and when it will occur. It has already been said on the news that when the FDA approves it they nwill be in stores.

Cloning is more of like used for animals. For plants, they call it grafting.

We are eating graft food daily, at least for me. An example woud be apple. When someone felt that the apple is sweet, they will harvest the "stem cell" of that tree and grow the apple tree back that is genetically identical. This should give rise to the wanted taste of the apple.

Apparently, fruits have not been labelled this way. I doubt it would ever will. As for cloning animals to eat, it is still illegal yet. So, no one knows.

You eat cloned food all the time without realizing it. Grafting is a type of cloning, and nearly all fruit trees are grafted. All Hass avocados are technically "clones" of the originals. Bananas, grapes and potatoes are cultivated using asexual methods of reproduction invented and actively/purposefully practiced by humans.

By the by, cloning does NOT only refer to animals as someone states below. A "clone" is a genetic duplicate of an existing organism, whether it be plant or animal. All Hass avocado trees are genetically identical to the original tree, and are thusly "clones"

Cloning is a term reserved for animals, as in Dolly. It seems unlikely that animals will be cloned for food porduction since it is a very expensive undertaking with not-so-reliable results at this point.

Many food products are genetically altered...corn used in cereals, canola used in oils, most papaya (fresh), etc. and it is not required to label these items. See the following site for more info on genetically modified foods.

i replaced into thinking of asking this myself, definitely, yet desperate to no longer make contributions to irrational fears. :) the way I see it, there is in all risk lots extra version between, as an occasion, one breed of cattle and the subsequent than there is between a clone and its unique. Heck, there is extra between guy or woman animals interior of a breed, to no longer point out between, say, cattle and fish. So, if eating one cow is not any much less risk-free than eating yet another, eating a cow clone would desire to be no much less risk-free the two. additionally, if there ever replaced right into a risky version it might kill the animal till now it grew sufficient to be waiting to slaughter, so in a fashion each serving immediately is going by years of huge animal checking out.

in about a few months and yes i think it will be marked

Not likely to happen. Cloneing food would be incredibly expensive, it'd be far easier to just grow it.

I don't know if I personally would want to eat it, what if it's defective?
