  Section  1. The agriculture and markets law is amended by adding a new

  S 210-B. LABELING OF FOOD PRODUCTS DERIVED FROM CLONED  ANIMALS.    1.
ANY  PERSON WHO MANUFACTURES OR PROCESSES FOOD PRODUCTS, INCLUDING FRESH
OR FROZEN MEAT, MEAT PREPARATIONS, MEAT BY-PRODUCTS,  POULTRY,  EGGS  OR
OTHER  DAIRY  FOOD  OR  DAIRY  FOOD PRODUCTS FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION SHALL
INDICATE ON THE LABEL OF SUCH FOOD PRODUCTS WHEN PACKAGED, OR BY A  SIGN
WHEN NOT PACKAGED, AS THE CASE MAY BE, THAT SUCH FOOD CONTAINS THE PROD-
UCT OF A CLONED ANIMAL OR ITS PROGENY.
  2.  AN  IMPORTER  OF  FOOD PRODUCTS FROM OUT-OF-STATE MANUFACTURERS OR
PROCESSORS OF FOOD FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION THAT CONTAINS ANY PRODUCT  FROM
A CLONED ANIMAL OR ITS PROGENY SHALL LABEL THE FOOD TO INDICATE THAT THE
FOOD  INCLUDES  THE  PRODUCT  OF  A  CLONED ANIMAL OR ITS PROGENY IF THE
IMPORTER HAS REASONABLE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE FOOD CONTAINS SUCH PRODUCT.
  3. ANY PERSON WHO PURCHASES OR OTHERWISE OBTAINS ANY FOOD PRODUCT  FOR
HUMAN  CONSUMPTION  WHICH  IS  LABELED  SO  AS TO DISCLOSE THAT THE FOOD
CONTAINS A PRODUCT FROM A CLONED ANIMAL OR ITS PROGENY, AND WHO  RESELLS
SUCH  FOOD  PRODUCT  TO  ANOTHER  PERSON  SHALL  ENSURE THAT THE FOOD IS
LABELED TO DISCLOSE THAT THE FOOD  CONTAINS  A  PRODUCT  FROM  A  CLONED
ANIMAL OR ITS PROGENY.
