I don't think BSE has been found in liver, either. Just brain and related parts. Ground beef is your biggest danger if you don't eat brains... you never know what was in that grinder first.

I'm not suprised they've found mad cow here. After all, there's been a "chronic wasting disease" endemic in wild ruminants for a long while now, and it's a spongiform encepholpathy as well. I suspect this isn't the British BSE but rather the domestic CWD having crossed the species barrier.
