Beef from a calf whose mother had BSE has illegally been sold in Britain. The
government banned sale of meat from such animals as a precaution in 1996, but
this week it revealed that a calf born to a cow with BSE had been illegally
slaughtered and sold in November 2001 at an abattoir in Wales, and meat from the
animal has disappeared into the food chain. 鈥淭his is a regrettable incident,鈥�
says Debby Reynolds of the Food Standards Agency, though the agency insists the
risk that the meat contained BSE is very low.
