Japan to test one million cattle for BSE
Japan plans to step up its battle against BSE by adopting strict European standards and individually test roughly 1 million cattle across the country, it was reported today.
The countrywide check, to begin next month, will target all cows older than 30 months that are destined for human consumption, according to Kyodo News service, which cited unnamed officials from Japan’s Health, Labour and Welfare Ministry.
