Creutzfeldt-Jakob takes as long as twenty years to show up in infected humans.

``The recalled meat represents essentially zero risk to consumers,'' Petersen said.
Then how come England destroyted the entire animal?
No beef for us. Obviously you can't believe these folks.

Look for great sales on beef soon at your favorite grocery store.

Aren't many inexpensive meat products made from the intestines?

You are correct. That is why it is very dangerous.

"He stressed, though, that the parts most likely to carry the infection--the brain, spinal cord and lower intestine--were removed before the meat from the infected cow was cut and processed for human consumption." Kinda my thought too. Why is any part of the animal shipped anywhere for consumption?
To: yonif
they have recalled as a precaution an estimated 10,000 pounds of meat from the infected cow That's one hefty heifer.

He stressed, though, that the parts most likely to carry the infection--the brain, spinal cord and lower intestine--were removed before the meat from the infected cow was cut and processed for human consumption. Was it made into dog or cat food?

That is why I posted it as I did. I wouldn't be surprised, as I have heard in the past, that diseased cow meat is also processed into pet food. I wouldn't feed mad cow meat to any living thing. Burn it and be done with it.

Dr. Kenneth Petersen, an Agriculture Department veterinarian, said investigators have now determined that some of the meat from the cow slaughtered Dec. 9 went to Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana and Guam. Earlier, officials had said most of the meat went to Washington and Oregon, with lesser amounts to California and Nevada, for distribution to consumers. So....ummmmm....what's the "Sell By Date" for that particular cow?

Enough beef from one animal to feed five states and a territory. That's one humongous holstein.
To: yonif
If the cow was known to be sick while still alive, why was the meat cut & sold? The meat should have at least been held until test were done on the brain.

The by products are also melted and used in cosmetics. Can you get Mad Cow from licking off your lipstick?

"He said those trimmings were sold to
some three dozen small, Asian and Mexican
facilities in Washington, Oregon, California
and Nevada."
Shouldn't have eaten that beef chorizo. It sure tasted good, though.

This article from May says there's no known risk to dogs getting the disease . . .Or cats. But if a cat had it, how would you know?
. . . donning asbestos underwear.
