When did BSE crisis occur?

Answer 1

The BSE crisis, commonly known as the "mad cow disease" crisis, gained significant attention in the late 1990s, particularly in the UK, where the first cases were reported in 1986. However, the crisis peaked in 1996 when the link between BSE and a variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) was established, leading to widespread public concern and changes in livestock management practices. The crisis prompted major policy shifts in the beef industry and affected international trade.
