7/29/03- "one other infected animal has resided within North America..."

[Ruby Romaine]

Canadian officials have yet to track down the source of contaminated cattle feed they suspect caused the country's first case of mad cow disease and therefore, experts told United Press International, they cannot eliminate the possibility at least one other infected animal has resided within North America, its identity or fate unknown.

In July, the FDA took legal action against X-Cel Feeds Inc., a Tacoma, Wash., feed manufacturer, because the firm had violated the feed ban and had incorporated cattle tissue into cattle feed. However, X-Cel's violations go back some 14 years to 1989 and FDA never moved to shut down operations or warn ranchers the feed contained improper material.
