Dean Foods Co., the top U.S. milk producer and the owner of the Land O'Lakes and Horizon Organic brands, announced Friday that it would no longer use milk from cloned cows. Scientists have consistently insisted that food products from cloned animals are no different than those from conventional beasts. But Dean Foods said it was responding to its customers. "Numerous surveys have shown that Americans are not interested in buying dairy products that contain milk from cloned cows," the company said in a statement quoted by the Associated Press. The company had previously announced that it would stop making cheese using milk from Martian goats and would end production of its popular minotaur sausage patties.—Jeffrey Kanige
