U.S. Not Concerned About Safety of Canadian Beef (07/07/06 07:20)

OMAHA (DTN) - Good Morning Ontario reported the U.S. says it's not concerned about the safety of Canadian beef and cattle.

USDA Chief Veterinarian John Clifford said in a release that the latest Canadian case of BSE isn't expected to "cause any disruption to our trade in beef or beef products from Canada."

"Food safety, both in the U.S. and Canada, is protected by an interlocking system of firewalls," Clifford said Thursday, and stressed he was confident in Canada's measures to find diseased cattle and make sure the disease doesn't threaten the country's beef production.

USDA is so confident, Clifford said, that it will not send officials to monitor Canada's investigation into the latest BSE discovery.

Yeah, but you got to remember this was the same USDA fellow (the Head Veterinarian of the country) that said one of the cows was a Santa Gertrubis and spelled it for the press: S-A-N-T-A G-E-R-T-R-U-B-I-S :roll: :lol:

Does not portend an aura of confidence

No- actually that was his boss- Johanns, the politician appointee that runs the show after he asks Tyson/Cargil what to do and how to do it ;-) .... With everything they say and do being so heavily influenced by the Corporate dollar, I have little faith in the USDA as a regulatory agency....
