DuBreton, an organic hog-packiing company in Quebec, said it welcomes a move by Health Canada to indefinitely suspend a proposed update to the novel food policy governing foods derived from cloned cattle, pigs and their offspring.
Health Canada said there are currently no approved foods from cloned products on the market in Canada.
It said it received pushback when it posted proposals for comment.
DuBreton and others said they want product labeling so the public knows if meat or milk comes from cloned animals.
Health Canada did not pretend its suspension is based on science.
