Poll On Meat Consumption And Effects Of BSE
Discusses trends in perceptions of American meat consumers as they relate to food safety and disease; compares the U.S. system to New Zealand’s agriculture industry.
A recent eating trend survey of 2000 American consumers found that 24% are eating less beef and pork than one year ago, with 33% of respondents citing the outbreak of BSE in Europe and Asia as a concern.
5% worried about bovine spongiform (BSE), also known as mad cow disease, in pork, and 30% worried about illness from food and mouth disease, which hasn’t been present in a U.S. animal since the 1920s.
