EDMONTON - According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, beef infected with Mad Cow disease may have been consumed by humans. The agency is trying to determine the whereabouts of 141 cattle born on the same day and same farm as an infected cow.
Dr. Gary Little stated that there is evidence to indicate that a small number of the cattle could potentially have been slaughtered and subsequently eaten by humans. He added that due to safeguards in place, the risk is low.
A dairy cow tested positive for Mad Cow disease just four days after the U.S. announced it would re-open its borders to Canadian beef imports.
