TSCRA Daily News Update, July 7, 2008
More information released on Canada's latest BSE case The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) confirmed last Friday that the BSE case announced on June 23 was a five-year-old Holstein cow from British Columbia. As previously noted, no part of the animal's carcass entered the human food supply and no risk materials entered the animal feed system. CFIA reports that the animal's age is consistent with some of Canada's previous BSE cases, which have ranged from 50 months to 192 months of age. The agency continues to investigate and gather additional information about the animal's background, including tracing its herdmates at birth. CFIA also announced that it will undertake a comprehensive feed investigation to examine how the animal became infected.
