Is FastAct BSE-free?
Yes. The CE Certificate can only be issues by demonstrating that the product is BSE free. The source proteins come from U.S. cows only, which have never had a documented case of BSE infection. The one case in the news recently was a cow that was initially infected in Ontario, Canada, five years before being sold to a farmer in the U.S.. All the plasma collected is from cows, which at the time of slaughter are only 18 months old. The gestation period for BSE is 5 years. All of the cows are inspected and certified by a USDA veterinarian, to be free of BSE, and are certified fit for human consumption.
