The United Kingdom was afflicted with an outbreak of Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, also known as "mad cow disease"), and its human equivalent variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (vCJD), in the 1980s and 1990s. Over four million head of cattle were slaughtered in an effort to contain the outbreak, and 178 people died after contracting vCJD through eating infected beef. A political and public health crisis resulted, and British beef was banned from export to numerous countries around the world, with some bans remaining in place until as late as 2019.

  • El Reino Unido se vio afectado por un brote de encefalopatía espongiforme bovina (EEB, también conocida como «enfermedad de las vacas locas»), y su variante humana equivalente, la enfermedad de Creutzfeldt-Jakob (eCJ), en las décadas de 1980 y 1990. Más de cuatro millones de cabezas de ganado fueron sacrificadas en un esfuerzo por contener el brote y 177 personas murieron después de contraer eCJ al comer carne de res infectada. Se produjo una crisis política y de salud pública, y se prohibió la exportación de carne vacuna británica a numerosos países de todo el mundo, y algunas prohibiciones se mantuvieron vigentes hasta 2019.​ Se cree que el brote se originó en la práctica de complementar las proteínas en la alimentación del ganado con harina de carne y huesos (HCH), que utilizaba los restos de otros animales. La EEB es una enfermedad que involucra proteínas infecciosas mal plegadas conocidas como priones en el sistema nervioso; los restos de un animal infectado podrían transmitir la enfermedad a los animales alimentados con esa dieta.

A political and public health crisis resulted, and British beef was banned from export to numerous countries around the world, with some bans remaining in place until as late as 2019. The outbreak is believed to have originated in the practice of supplementing protein in cattle feed by meat-and-bone meal (MBM), which used the remains of other animals. BSE is a disease involving infectious misfolded proteins known as prions in the nervous system; the remains of an infected animal could spread the disease to animals fed on such a diet. (en)
