What foods have prions in them?

Prions are misfolded proteins that can cause neurodegenerative diseases and are primarily associated with certain animal products. Foods that may contain prions include beef products from cattle infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), commonly known as "mad cow disease." Other potential sources include organ meats, particularly the brain and spinal cord, from infected animals. It is important to note that strict regulations in many countries help minimize the risk of prion contamination in the food supply.
