Food industry spokesman: Up to 100 more mad cow cases expected

While the cow that initially tested positive earlier this week for mad cow disease has turned out not to suffer from the disorder after all, a food industry spokesman has told UPI that up to 100 further infected animals are probably in the U.S., and that half of them can be expected to pass undetected into the food supply.

The USDA, however, insists that it remains confident of the safety of the nation's supply of beef.
