FDA Reports Low Risk From Texas Feed Lot Ingredient
The FDA released test results from a Texas feedlot where feed may have included meat and bone meal from other cattle. Each animal could have ingested at most five and a half grams, about a quarter ounce, of prohibited material, in cattle weighing around 600 pounds. The material was domestic in origin and unlikely to contain BSE, given the feed’s very low level and single exposure.
