Creekstone asks for summary judgment in BSE testing case

Food & Drink Weekly, July 24, 2006

Creekstone asks for summary judgment in BSE testing case: Creekstone Farms, which is suing USDA to be allowed to test all of its cattle for presence of mad cow disease, has filed for summary judgment in a Washington, D.C., court USDA has until August 25 to reply to the request, then each side has another month to file amended replies.

Creekstone charges that since the BSE rapid test it plans to use is not a vaccine, serum, virus or toxin, it does not qualify under the Virus Serum Toxin Act of 1913, the Act USDA cites as its authority for restricting the sale of test kits.
