Not at all. Fielding didn't tell Japanese consumers that "BSE TESTED" does not mean "BSE FREE". He wanted to capitalize on their ignorance. To their credit, USDA wouldn't stand for it. The test Creekstone was using would not reveal BSE prions in cattle under 24 months of age so there is no reason to test.
He didn't make his statement to the Japanese consumer nor did he plan to label his beef "BSE TESTED BUT NOT GUARANTEED BSE FREE".
He wanted to capitalize on the fear of the Japanese consumer PROVIDING THE GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE EVEN ALLOWED IT.
This dog never did hunt and it sure as hell doesn't hunt now.
