Buyers of US beef keep importing after mad cow case
- 12 years ago
Major export markets for US beef from Canada to Japan stayed open on Wednesday after the United States reported its first case of mad cow disease in six years amid assurances that rigorous surveillance had safeguarded the food system.
US live cattle futures were higher on Wednesday, but only recovered about half of what they lost on Tuesday when the
market posted its biggest drop in seven months.
US officials insist there is no risk to human health.
