Switzerland's Food Safety and Veterinary Office reported an atypical BSE case in a 12-year-old cow in Graubünden, following recent cases in Spain and the Netherlands. The office said atypical BSE can arise spontaneously and is not linked to feed, and the carcass was destroyed.
Atypical cases arise spontaneously and do not signal feed contamination, so the impact on cattle and meat-and-bone meal markets is likely limited, though it adds to beef trade caution.
