he USDA when it discovered that cattle may have been fed banned feed."

Berlowitz said the need to improve FDA enforcement practices "cannot be overstated" as a measure to reduce the possibility that BSE may spread to the American dinner table.

His article is titled, "Food Safety vs. Promotion of Industry: Can the USDA Protect Americans From Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy?"
