That shouldn't be a problem. From where I sit it looks like the issue is so controversial that meat processors who don't use cloned meat will want to label their meat as NOT coming from cloned steers, and will probably do a better business because of it.
It may not be to ahyone's advantage to make a point of telling consumers it IS from clones.
But a clone isn't made of "old matter". The animal grows from a fertilized egg the same way as from normal fertilization. The only difference is in the DNA that tells the cells how to develop. Cloned DNA is identical to the original instead of a mix of both mother and father. The only thing "old" is the handful of molecules that kicks the whole process into gear.
