In Reply to: FAT LIPS/SHINY HAIR/Creams (Cosmetics) PRETTY WOMEN $ MOVIE STARS $ MAD COW DISEASE ... posted by TSS on June 10, 2001 at 8:24 am:

While researching about fatlips and movie stars,
i came across a document that stated that
some contact lenses care products were made from catalase prepared from
bovine liver, and i thought
this most important, as i have not heard much
about this. wonder if the U.S. distributes/manfactures contact lenses
care products made from these cattle tissues???

BOVINE MATERIALS: LENS CARE PRODUCTS

As part of our exercise of looking at possible routes for BSE infection
into man we noted that catalase prepared from bovine liver is used in
some contact lens care products. Experimentally, the ocular route can be
effective in SE transmissions.
Some contact lens products are licensed and presumably this means the
sourcing will be adequately controlled. Is there a possibility that
unlicensed care products might use bovine catalase?
