Since the BSE-positive cow was discovered in the U.S., does that mean that dietary supplements made with domestic ingredients might be unsafe?
No. Like all foods that are made using bovine-derived ingredients, the procedures that FDA and USDA have had in place to ensure the safety of the food supply should give consumers confidence that their food, including dietary supplements, is safe. Even though an imported BSE-positive cow was identified in the U.S., the risk to human health from dietary supplements and other foods containing bovine-derived ingredients remains extremely low.
