HI Jannet,
The only foods affected were where the beef was ground up I.e. Burgers as they chucked in anything they could. The only slight risk and it was never the cause of a case of BSE was rib eye steak. Ate lots of UK beef during that time and am okay as are millions of others. There were also only 177 cases of BSE in the UK out of the entire population.
Even US cattle cant be used in BO as they are fed GM modified feed and some are also fed growth hormone. The BO all seems to come from pasture fed cattle anyway from places which werent affected by BSE namely Argentina and New Zealand.
In theory there is a greater risk with BO than PM or HRT but then we all take risks everyday with driving, flying etc which are potentially a far greater risk.
