USDA Considers Mad Cow Regulations
January 21, 2002
The USDA, in an effort to prevent mad-cow disease from occurring in the United States, is considering new regulations that would bring major changes to the Nation's meatpacking industry. Agency officials are considering banning the use of certain bovine brain, spinal cord, and intestinal parts in human food production.
Processing industry officials say the proposal is costly and unnecessary, as no cases of the fatal neurological disease have yet been reported in the United States.
