Canada reports case of BSE

21/12/2021
Canada has reported a case of atypical bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), known as mad cow disease, according to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).

The carcass did not enter the human food or animal feed chains, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said the discovery should not affect market access for Canadian animals and beef products.

"Atypical strains occur naturally and sporadically in all cattle populations at a very low rate and have only been identified in older cattle," it said in a statement.

Canada's last confirmed case was in 2015.
