OIE Raises BSE Age Limit
June 5, 2009
The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) has adopted a resolution raising the cattle age limits related to preventing bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in international beef trade.
Under former OIE standards, beef exports and imports had been restricted to boneless beef from cattle younger than 30 months old. The resolution allows exports and imports of boneless beef from cattle of all ages.
