HL Deb 30 June 1999 vol 603 c34WA
Viscount Montgomery of Alamein

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Answer by Lord Donoughue on 17 June (H.L. Deb., col. 411), whether restaurants may serve calves' brains. [HL3171]

Lord Donoughue

There is no prohibition on the sale for human consumption of calves' brains, provided they come from an animal aged under six months. No part of the head of a bovine animal under that age is classed as specified risk material.
