This BSE determination means Canada meets the necessary requirements and the OIE has sent its recommendation to the broader delegation, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada says.

“Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada said a change Canada’s BSE status from controlled to negligible would “help secure and negotiate access for Canadian cattle and beef products”
