BC moves to require cattle inspection by year end
Health Minister Colin Hansen said up to five percent of cattle in British Columbia are slaughtered without inspection for mad cow disease or health risks. The province will implement province-wide inspection rules by year end, replacing the current system where some meat slaughtered for farm use goes uninspected. Affected farms in the Fraser Valley and near Prince George are quarantined amid Alberta mad cow cases and U.S. beef import bans. Federal inspectors handle BC inspections now, but municipalities have set varying local rules for meat consumed within regions.
