The European Union says mad cow disease has been detected in a goat slaughtered in France in 2002. It's the first recorded case of the brain-wasting disease in an animal other than a cow.

Initially, scientists believed the goat had scrapie, a disease related to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).

The EU commission indicated more testing will be performed to determine if it's an isolated incident.

Scientific evidence has linked variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) to eating contaminated products from animals infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)...

It is. Just put a little mint jelly on the lamb and you'll be fine.
