Results from a survey conducted in Europe revealed that consumers are still very much reluctant to try and are wary of meat from cloned animals.

Europeans are generally opposed to meat from cloned animals, feeling not enough is known about the long-term effects of eating it, according to an EU survey published Thursday.

While most think that it is justifiable to clone animals of endangered species, it takes a lot more for them to actually accept cloning as an alternative source of food production.

Personally, I think there is heightened consumer awareness in food safety, especially after the tainted milk scandal which was a rude awakening for people all around the world. It is true that there is much uncertainty in the safety of cloned or genetically modified food and food safety is one area that should not be compromised.
