Thailand, which bought less than 0.1 percent of total U.S. beef exports in 2011, may suspend imports from the U.S. after the first case of mad cow in six years.

Indonesia became the first country to suspend exports of U.S. beef after the discovery of a BSE-infected cow in California earlier this week.

The U.S. government has confirmed the first case of mad cow disease in six years, but is stressing that there is no threat to human health and no danger of the meat entering the food chain.
