Urge Food Companies to Say No to Cloning

Consumer opposition to milk and meat from clones is causing major food companies, restaurants, and grocery stores to reject food from clones.  Your voice is being heard  dont stop now.  We need your help in sending a strong message to food producers, restaurants and grocers that consumers do not want foods from cloned animals or their offspring. 

Twenty of Americas leading food producers, restaurants, and retailers have said that they will not use cloned animals in their food in response to surveys sent by the Center for Food Safety and Friends of the Earth. 

Companies include Kraft Foods; General Mills; Gerber/Nestle; Campbell Soup Company; Gossner Foods; Smithfield Foods; Ben & Jerrys; Amys Kitchen; California Pizza Kitchen restaurants; Hain Celestial; Cloverland, Oberweis, Prairie, Byrne, Plainview, and Clover-Stornetta Dairies; and grocers PCC Natural Markets, Albertsons, SUPERVALU, and Harris Teeter.  The move by these companies represents a growing industry trend of responding to consumer demand for better food safety, environmental, and animal welfare standards. We need more to follow suit to protect our food supply since FDA refuses to do so.

As you may recall, FDA recently approved the sale of meat and milk from cloned animals and declared it safe, despite scant data to support its claim.  As a result, FDA will not require any special procedures for tracking or handling food products from clones or their offspring.  It also will not require labeling on such food, depriving consumers of their right to know the process used to produce the milk and meat products they eat. This action comes at a time when Congress has voted twice to delay FDAs decision on cloned animals until additional safety and economic studies can be completed. 

Ben & Jerrys, Amys Kitchen, Clover-Stornetta, Oberweis Dairy, Prairie Farms Dairy, Plainview Dairy, PCC Natural Markets, and Hain Celestial have gone one step further by stating that they would not use ingredients from clones or their offspring.  The Center for Food Safety, Friends of the Earth, and the American Anti-Vivisection Society are working to obtain more commitments of this kind.  This is where YOU come in...

Let food companies know you wont buy food from clones.

While animal cloning has been banned for use in organic production it has not been banned for use in conventional foods. We need to tell these companies that we will not buy their products if they come from animal clones or their offspring. Just click "Send this message" and we will deliver your letters to our top 50 food companies, dairies, meat producers, restaurants, and supermarkets, and ask them to pledge to avoid food from cloned animals and their offspring

Food from Cloned Animals

Twenty of America's leading food producers and retailers have stated that they will not use cloned animals in their food.

These companies include Kraft Foods; General Mills; Gerber/Nestle; Campbell Soup Company; Gossner Foods; Smithfield Foods; Ben & Jerry's; Amy's Kitchen; California Pizza Kitchen restaurants; Hain Celestial; Cloverland, Oberweis, Prairie, Byrne, Plainview, and Clover-Stornetta Dairies; and grocers PCC Natural Markets, Albertsons, SUPERVALU, and Harris Teeter.  The move by these companies represents a growing industry trend of responding to consumer demand for better food safety, environmental, and animal welfare standards.

Cloning raises numerous human health, animal welfare, economic, environmental, and ethical concerns. Despite scant data, congressional action demanding further research and over 150,000 public comments in opposition, FDA approved the sale of meat and milk from cloned animals, without labeling of any kind on food products from clones or their offspring, depriving consumers of their right to know about the origins of their food.

I am vehemently opposed to food from cloned animals and their offspring. I urge you to join these twenty companies in responding to consumer concerns, and to declare that you will not knowingly source, serve, or sell any products derived from cloned animals or their offspring, and that you will put steps in place to avoid such ingredients. I only plan to purchase food from those companies that make such a pledge.

I look forward to your response.
