european consumers are less accepting of cloned animal products than their american counterparts, according to new research from kansas state university, usa. the research, led by sean fox of kansas state, focused on consumer attitudes toward food safety, in particular consumer attitudes on cloned animals. “we were interested in finding out how different groups of consumers react to the possibility of consuming products that were derived from cloned animals …we were also interested in how those reactions differed between countries, particularly in the united states and europe,” said fox, who is a professor of agricultural economics. “results suggest that a significant number of people do have concerns about cloning from an ethical and moral perspective. “that will be very relevant if these products come to market and are labeled as such, because we would expect to see a significant number of people avoiding them,” he added. study details the researchers surveyed students in agriculture, english and sociology at kansas state university, and compared the attitudes of students on campus to those of agriculture students surveyed at university college dublin in ireland and ecole superieure d'agriculture in purpan, france. the survey asked participants about their likelihood of buying and eating meat and other products from cloned animals. prof. fox and his team’s results showed differences in attitudes and opinions on both an international and local level, the most significant of which being that american consumers are more accepting of cloned products than european consumers. the researchers reported that students both ireland and france were less likely to consume cloned products than american students. fox said that more european students were concerned about cloning from an ethical and moral perspective, whilst american students cited food safety concerns as the main reason to avoid cloned meats.
