The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has confirmed that a new case of BSE has been confirmed in Alberta, Canada – the same area in which the previous two cases were also found.

It is believed that the cow was born in March, 1998 - seven months after the introduction of Canada’s ruminant-to-ruminant feed ban went into effect - raising questions as to whether the ban was adhered to or enforced.
