- Objective
- This research project aims to characterise the consumption of sheep and goat products within the UK.
- More information
- In part, this study is in response to recommendations from the Core Stakeholder Group on BSE in Sheep:
- (R)Future risk advice from the Agency should include information on the theoretical risk from sheep and goat dairy products;
- (R)The Agency, with other Government departments, should commission a full audit of the uses of sheep and goat products in food and non-food products that could be infected, if the risk exists. In light of the above, this study should achieve the following three aims.
- Focus on sheep and goat products, so that if BSE is found in sheep and/or goats, the 'at risk' products are identified.
- Review current meat and processed sheep and goat products available in relation to their potential quantities and distribution.
- Review the current production and utilisation of dairy products from sheep and goats milk.
