Over the weekend, the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food Supply confirmed that two atypical cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)had been discovered at two separate meat plants.
On Monday, the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) maintained Brazil's status as a country with a "negligible risk " for BSE. However, beef exports to China had been temporarily suspended as part of an agreement between the two countries.
