Risk Assessment for Food Terrorism and Other Food Safety Concerns
BSE has been linked to new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD), a human brain-wasting disease.
The diseased cow was tested for BSE and a tissue sample was being flown by military jet to the UK for further tests.
BOVINE SPONGIFORM ENCEPHALOPATHY
Can pass to humans through infected beef products
Human form of disease called vCJD
vCJD has killed 137 people, mainly in the UK
The dairy cow had been sick or injured and was never destined for the public food supply, Ms Veneman said.
First diagnosed in Britain in 1986, BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) affected 178,000 British cattle and resulted in the eventual destruction of 3.7 million animals.
It cost British farming billions of dollars as countries around the world banned British beef.
