No risk from baby food
PA Auckland New Zealand parents will still be able to buy baby food made with cattle products, in spite of a British Government call for a ban on its sale. The British Minister of
Agriculture, Mr John MacGregor, announced the move after a study found the disease BSE turned cattle brains into a sponge-like substance. The research showed the risk of BSE transmis-
sion to humans was remote and it was unlikely to affect human health, but baby-food manufacturers were urged to avoid the use of cattle brains, spinal cords, spleens and intestines.
