Stop Me if You've Heard This One Before

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has drafted a statement that meat and milk from cloned animals is as safe for consumption as that of conventionally reared livestock and cattle. The FDA statement is consistent with the 2002 findings of The National Academy of Sciences, an independent advisory body, that provides input on "scientific and technological issues that frequently pervade policy decisions."

According to farmers who have invested in cloning animals, the food and milk wouldn't come from the clone, but from the offspring of the clone. Currently, the FDA does not allow the sale of meat or milk from cloned animals.
