The Four Mad Cow States - Washington, Oregon, California and Nevada
Great, just f**king great. Now in ten years you'll find that your brain is turning to oatmeal because you had something that had meat or a meat by-product in it, or it was near the equipment that's permanently contaminated by prions (which can only be killed with efforts such as those used for surgical instruments - but the machinery isn't ever sterilized, nor will it be now). Even jello can be compromised.
Suspect BSE meat 'sold in four US states'
(Filed: 28/12/2003)
American scientists have traced their mad cow's "birth herd" to Canada, reports Charles Laurence
Meat linked to America's first case of mad cow disease has been sold in four western states, health officials admitted last night.
The US Department of Agriculture has also found that the infected Holstein, cow which was sent for slaughter from Sunny Dene farm in Mabton, Washington State, was part of a herd of 74 imported from Canada in 2001.
While the discovery of the "birth herd" will help officials to trace the source of the disease, the revelation that meat linked to the dairy cow was sold in Washington, Oregon, California and Nevada will do little to calm a nervous American public.

(KCBS)--Beef is piling up at the Port of Oakland after the United States lost many of its beef exports because of the fears over Mad Cow disease.
Every year more than 200,000 metric tons of American raised beef leaves the Port of Oakland destined for Asian nations like China, Japan and Indonesia.

WASHINGTON -- U.S. investigators disclosed Sunday that they found meat cut from a Holstein sick with mad cow disease was sent to four more states and one territory.
Dr. Kenneth Petersen, an Agriculture Department veterinarian, said investigators determined that some of the meat from the cow slaughtered Dec. 9 went to Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana and the territory of Guam.
