To the best of my knowledge,the same analysis is performed on a random basis
at the entry of the EU.It is intended to make sure that no product of animal
origin could mix with other food.It has been noticed that BSE has spread
mainly through animal feed, and that fish farming has been using some of
that feed.
As for labs,any one that could perform analysis on animal proteins could do
the job.
