Advisers to Robert F Kennedy Jr. fear cloned meat and animal breeding could become a divisive issue inside the Make America Healthy Again movement.
The Daily Mail understands that the use of cloned animals in the US food supply is seen as a ‘complex problem’ among Kennedy allies.
The topic gained renewed attention this week when Canada announced it would allow cloned meat products to be sold in supermarkets without any disclosure – a practice the US has quietly permitted for nearly two decades.
Some close allies of the health secretary worry the issue could spark tensions within the movement, particularly among its tech-forward members who align with Elon Musk and view cloned breeding as a potentially valuable tool for boosting sustainability and environmental outcomes, the Daily Mail understands.
For now, the Trump Administration’s Health Department (HHS) has taken no official stance on cloned-animal products in the food supply.
Sources close to Kennedy say the department is not ruling out weighing in later on what they describe as an ‘interesting issue.’
HHS is currently deferring all policy authority to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which sits under Kennedy’s leadership.
