There is no threat of widespread BSE contamination in Poland, chief veterinarian Piotr Kolodzie has attested on behalf of Poland’s State Veterinarian Institute.

Speaking at a conference held in Pulawy (south-eastern Poland), accompanied by experts from Great Britain, Switzerland, Germany, Holland and Belarus, Kolodzie admitted that isolated cases- such as that detected in a Polish abattoir two months ago - could still occur. However, he said the chances of this happening were extremely limited and that in any case, the meat would simply not be allowed to enter the market.
