Collection of brain sampling temporarily suspended

by John Gregerson on 8/29/2006 for Meatingplace.com

Inspection program personnel will halt brain sample collection under the previsions of a recently released Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) notice.

FSIS Notice 52-06, "Temporary Suspension of Provision in the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) Ongoing Surveillance Program," issued on Aug. 25, 2006, informed inspection personnel to stop collecting brain samples under the provisions of FSIS Notice 51-06, "Sample Collection from Cattle Under the BSE Ongoing Surveillance Program," issued on Aug. 23, 2006, Paragraph II A.

A subsequent FSIS Notice will be issued to inspection personnel when sample collection is to resume.
