<p>Milk and meat from the offspring of cloned animals does not need special authorisation before reaching supermarket shelves, the food safety watchdog will tell the Government today.</p>
<p>The Food Standards Agency (FSA) Board said there were no food safety reasons for regulating the produce sold from cattle or pigs bred from cloned animals.</p>
<p>The decision could pave the way for such foodstuffs to be sold freely and unlabelled on the high street.</p>
<p>Under European law, food or drink produced from cloned animals must pass a safety evaluation and get approval under the Novel Food Regulations before they are marketed.</p>
<p>But the FSA ruled there was no difference between the composition of meat or milk from the descendants of cloned animals and that from conventionally-reared animals.</p>
<p>It also said there was no need to introduce mandatory labelling because it would offer no food safety benefit to shoppers.</p>
<p>The board&#8217;s conclusions came after a probe was launched when it emerged beef from the offspring of a cloned cow had been sold and eaten in the UK.</p>
<p>According to the minutes of September&#8217;s board meeting, members discussed how the public had &#8220;little appetite&#8221; for food from cloned animals but said ministers should be advised that regulating such produce would be difficult.</p>
<p>The board agreed to advise ministers that the marketing of food from cloned animals should be subject to authorisation as novel foods.</p>
<p>Members also agreed to follow the European Commission by recommending food from the offspring of cloned animals does not need authorisation.</p>
