Mad Cow Disease in the US - Why Not Test for It?

Posted Oct 22 2008 4:40pm

Korea has shut its doors to American beef. Why? Because the USDA won't allow cows to be tested for mad cow disease, even though a rapid test exists, and some US suppliers want to do it. If you buy beef for your family, you should know about this government ruling, described in this New York Times op-ed piece. Maybe the Koreans are rioting at the idea of US beef because they are better informed than domestic consumers.
