The issue of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) is one of great concern to all members of the Society and we have had many requests for clarification of the scientific issues involved. Conflicting and disturbing claims and statements have been made in the press, confusing the issue.
The definitive distillation of what is currently known is contained in the Position Statements produced by the Institute of Food Science & Technology (UK) and they have kindly allowed us to reproduce the most recent one below.
