Butcher trims fat off a prime rib beef roast, 29 December at Holland Court Meat Market, a local butcher, in New York. About 10,000 pounds of meat from 20 cows slaughtered 09 December in Washington state, one of which was infected with mad cow disease, has been recalled by federal officials. Ron DeHaven, the top US government veterinarian said Monday, that US beef is safe to eat despite a widening recall that covered eight states amid a mad cow scare. DeHaven's optimism did not convince Chicago's sinking beef futures markets or the 30 countries that have so far banned US beef for fear it may spread bovine spongiform encephalopathy. A single US cow was found to have BSE, commonly called mad cow disease. AFP PHOTO/Stan HONDA Get premium, high resolution news photos at getty
