R-CALF: Another Canadian BSE Case
R-CALF USA says it has confirmed that Canada has detected the country’s latest case of BSE. The animal in question is said to be a 72-month-old Angus cow. R-CALF USA Communications Coordinator Shae Dodson says she was told by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency that Canada, indeed, had discovered yet another case of BSE. CFIA confirmed the BSE-positive case on February 25, 2010.At six years of age - R-CALF says this particular animal would have been born in 2003 or 2004 - making her the 18th Canadian-born BSE case and the 11th BSE-positive animal eligible to be exported to the United States. R-CALF USA CEO Bill Bullard says - the CFIA and all other governments who knew about this latest BSE case kept it a secret from the public for almost two weeks.
R-CALF charges USDA with not disclosing such important disease information. Bullard says, - consumers – now more than ever – should be telling their grocers they want the products in the meat counter labeled with country-of-origin information so they can decide on their own whether to avoid products from countries with ongoing disease problems.
