A case of BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy), which is also known as "mad cow disease", has been confirmed at a farm in Aberdeenshire, the BBC reports.

Ian McWatt, director of operations at Food Standards Scotland, noted that there are "strict controls in place to protect consumers from the risk of BSE" and that officials remain vigilant.
