USDA says Canada´s second mad cow not a threat - Monday, January 3, 2005 7:16:41 PM afxpress.com 2005-01-03 19:16:41 USDA says Canada's second mad cow not a threat - UPDATE 1 WASHINGTON (AFX) -- Canada's second case of mad cow disease does not threaten the U.S beef supply, the U.S. Agriculture Department said Monday "USDA remains confident that the animal and public health measures that Canada has in place ... provide the utmost protections to U.S. consumers and livestock," said Ron DeHaven, the administrator at the department's animal and plant health inspection service A day earlier, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency confirmed that a second dairy cow from Alberta had tested positive for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), known as mad cow disease "No part of the animal entered the human food or animal feed systems," the Canadian agency said in a written statement issued Sunday The test results released Sunday confirmed preliminary tests released last week The USDA said it did not plan to change Canada's status as a "minimal risk" for cattle trade and is still planning on opening the border to cattle trade in March "The extensive risk assessment conducted as part of USDA's rulemaking process took into careful consideration the possibility that Canada could experience additional cases of BSE," DeHaven said The United States shut down the border for cattle trade in 2003 after the first cow in Alberta was discovered to have the disease. The United States announced last Wednesday that Canada had proven to be a "minimal risk" and the border could be re-opened in March ============================================================= payback for Canada not exporting drugs to the US?
