... meat from the offspring of a cloned cow, raised and slaughtered in the uk has been exported to belgium, the uk’s food standards agency has confirmed ... but belgian authorities say there is no food safety issue, so no rapid alert was required ... the fsa subsequently issued a rapid alert using the eu food safety system to notify belgian authorities on 9 august ... however belgium’s federal food safety agency, afsca, is now asking the european commission to wipe the uk notification from the system, as it says it should never have been posted – even just for information purposes ... yesterday the commission told all eu member states that food from descendents of clones are conventional foods, and therefore no special measures apply
