* The spinal cord is severed with a band saw, spraying spinal cord fluid onto the carcass. One European study found such contamination occurred in every case that researchers examined. * Compressing the brain with a stun gun or other device when the animal is killed can send brain tissue deep into the blood stream and the body. The industry has taken steps to alleviate this, but some research indicates it remains a risk. * A process known as Advanced Meat Recovery, designed to strip the last bit of meat from the skeleton, has allowed spinal cord and other nervous system tissues into the product that results, a fact borne out most recently by the USDA's 2002 survey. * Some bones, including the spinal column that can have bits of spinal cord inside, are boiled to produce beef stock, extract and flavoring. The discarded parts, including the spinal cord and other skeletal remains, are sent to rendering plants, where they're mixed with other animal leftovers to make pet food, feed for pigs and chickens and other products. ----- organicconsumers.org
