World body to grant S. Korea 'controlled risk' status on mad cow
SEOUL, March 13 (Yonhap) -- A global animal health body will grant South Korea "controlled risk" status on mad cow disease, a move that may improve consumer confidence in local beef products, a government source said Saturday.
The farm ministry official said the livestock technical committee at the Paris-based World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) met last week and reached the conclusion that South Korea could be given the improved classification after meeting livestock control and testing standards.
