To be specific, the FDA found no grounds upon which to claim any difference between cloned vs. non-cloned products and thus had no basis for regulatory oversight. They did request that the products of cloned animals be kept off market voluntarily. So far they have been.

You're probably thinking of saccharin and it's "Known in the state of california to cause cancer in laboratory animals" statement. It causes an increased risk of bladder cancer in the male offspring of female rats exposed to chemical while pregnant in levels that would not be achievable by any rational means other than IV.
The publicized issue with aspartame was more than there were a lot of stockholders on the approval board. It also decomposes to produce methanol, though not in quantities large enough to be harmful (in humans) unless, again, you're eating it by the shovel full.

Sure. FDA certified "organic" is pretty much meaningless.
