Q. What is being done to ensure the safety of the meat supply from Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) in North America?

A. The USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and USDA's Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) closely monitor BSE-related issues in the United States.

For current information, please visit their BSE web pages:

  • APHIS
  • FSIS

    FSRIO also provides a BSE Fact Sheet and Resource List with additional resources.
