"Scientists think that prions are generally confined to nervous and lymphoid tissue, such as the brain and tonsils. But a recent paper found that genetically engineered mice with a certain inflammatory condition accumulate prions in organs throughout their body2. If the same holds true for cows, then infected meat could enter the human food chain. "

If this is true we would have to test every animal that goes into the food chain. SRM removal (complete SRM removal) would not be sufficient. Correct?
