Not only SRM removal and feed bans. No cattle over 30 months of age can go into the human food chain at this time in England. How scary is that?

Under strict EU rules brought in after the mad cow crisis, all cattle destined for human consumption over 30 months of age... have to be tested for BSE.

Where does it say that?
