British scientists responsible for monitoring BSE and the human variant CJD or vCJD have accused Britain's meat industry of withholding information that could help determine how many people will eventually contract the fatal disease. The vital data contains information about which products companies sold in the 1970s and 1980s that contained mechanically recovered meat.
