About CMO and BSE (Mad Cow Disease)
It is our understanding that certain proteins known as
prions are the
infective
or disease-producing agents in BSE and related disorders. Our CMO contains
no proteins or polypeptides of any sort.
The rendered tallow, from USA breed cattle, which is
the source material for our product is hydrolyzed under high temperature
and pressure to d-esterify it from the glycerol. This process alone
would cause the complete destruction of all polypeptide bonds. From
there the 
free
fatty acids go through many fractionations any of which purify it such
that no amino acids or other nitrogen containing compounds can withstand
the process. The final product is produced in an esterification process
that includes temperatures well above the boiling point of water for
many hours, all in the presence of catalysts and high concentrations
of acids.
The final product is repeatedly purified using processes that are far, far above the requirements for pasteurization. The carboxylic acids, from which the CMO is made, additionally have anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties.
