I'm really sorry to say this, but this short article is far short of the sort of amount of detail that readers could reasonably expect on a major and complex topic like the UK BSE outbreak. The subject has important (and complex) dimensions that are barely touched upon, such as the politics; the regulation of food safety in the decades before the outbreak; the reasons that the UK was susceptible but not other countries; and the relationship between the disease's aetiology, public health policy, and politics. One pointer to the thinness of the coverage is the lack of books (indeed, the total absence of a list of major Sources consulted: the article appears to have been written almost entirely from news items). There are numerous books on the subject and one would certainly expect at least some of these to have been consulted in detail. I think therefore the only option is a quick fail on the grounds that the article is inadequately researched and (to be formal for a moment) inadequate in addressing the "main aspects of the topic", criterion 3a.
