NOTICE: Final Rule Regarding Imports and BSE Effective March 4, 2014
USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service sent this bulletin at
02/12/2014 11:57 AM EST
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) published a final
rule to amend Federal import regulations for animals and animal products with
regard to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) which becomes effective next
month.
The final rule describes a new system for classifying regions in other
countries as negligible, controlled and undetermined risk for BSE. The final
rule also revises the conditions for the specific importation of bovine products
and removes restrictions on the importation of cervids and camelids, and
products derived from such animals.
Certain commodities (as described in the rule) may be imported into the
United States from regions that APHIS designates as negligible, controlled, or
undetermined risk, under conditions prescribed by the new BSE regulations
(provided other import requirements mitigating the risk of foreign animal
diseases, such as foot and mouth disease, are met).
Click here for the Federal Register Notice, published December 4, 2013, for
more detail on the final BSE rule which will be in effect from March 4, 2014.
Please also visit our website to review an Import Alert describing
implementation under the final rule.

FDA PART 589 -- SUBSTANCES PROHIBITED FROM USE IN ANIMAL FOOD OR FEED VIOLATIONS OFFICIAL ACTION INDICATED OIA UPDATE DECEMBER 2013 UPDATE
OAI 2012-2013
OAI (Official Action Indicated) when inspectors find significant
objectionable conditions or practices and believe that regulatory sanctions are
warranted to address the establishment’s lack of compliance with the regulation.
An example of an OAI classification would be findings of manufacturing
procedures insufficient to ensure that ruminant feed is not contaminated with
prohibited material. Inspectors will promptly re-inspect facilities classified
OAI after regulatory sanctions have been applied to determine whether the
corrective actions are adequate to address the objectionable conditions.

Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy TSE PRION update January 2, 2014
*** chronic wasting disease, there was no absolute barrier to conversion of
the human prion protein.
*** Furthermore, the form of human PrPres produced in this in vitro assay
when seeded with CWD, resembles that found in the most common human prion
disease, namely sCJD of the MM1 subtype.
*** The potential impact of prion diseases on human health was greatly
magnified by the recognition that interspecies transfer of BSE to humans by beef
ingestion resulted in vCJD. While changes in animal feed constituents and
slaughter practices appear to have curtailed vCJD, there is concern that CWD of
free-ranging deer and elk in the U.S. might also cross the species barrier.
Thus, consuming venison could be a source of human prion disease. Whether BSE
and CWD represent interspecies scrapie transfer or are newly arisen prion
diseases is unknown. Therefore, the possibility of transmission of prion disease
through other food animals cannot be ruled out. There is evidence that vCJD can
be transmitted through blood transfusion. There is likely a pool of unknown size
of asymptomatic individuals infected with vCJD, and there may be asymptomatic
individuals infected with the CWD equivalent. These circumstances represent a
potential threat to blood, blood products, and plasma supplies.
