[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 377226, member: 97"] Canada Confirms 10th BSE Case: The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) confirmed May 2nd diagnosis of the country’s 10th case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). No part of the animal entered the human food or animal feed supply. Officials report the BSE-positive animal was a 66-month-old dairy cow from British Columbia. This latest finding helps illustrate the logic behind comments submitted by NCBA March 12 on USDA’s proposal to amend the BSE minimal risk region rule expanding trade of cattle and beef products from Canada into the United States. In its comments, [b]NCBA raised some very specific issues regarding post-feed ban cases and [u]called for USDA to address these issues before going forward with any expansion of imports.[/u] [/b] Specifically, [b]NCBA called for USDA to revisit and better explain its designated March 1, 1999, feed ban compliance date. [/b] While current information demonstrates that Canada now maintains effective feed ban compliance, it is not clear that this was the case in March 1999. [b]NCBA has asked for a quantitative assessment of feed ban compliance in Canada. An accurate feed ban date is absolutely essential for this proposed rule.[/b] Once an effective feed ban date is determined, USDA must use this date to ensure cattle imported into the United States were born after the set date. [b]In addition, NCBA member-directed policy calls for Canadian cattle to be permanently identified through harvest. [/b] [/QUOTE]
