YUM Brands Inc. and other U.S. fast-food chains serving beef products fell sharply in morning trade Thursday, after Canadian health officials reported that a Canadian man had died of the human strain of mad cow disease. The man, who died in a hospital in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, likely contracted the disease in the United Kingdom, Canadian Health officials said. Further details were not immediately available. The market reacted quickly to news of the death, fearful that mad cow, a fatal brain-wasting disorder that has plagued cattle herds in Britain and other parts of the world, might have entered the North American food supply. full story: http://www.abcnews.go.com/wire/Business/reuters20020808_278.html</a> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
