Yes it does. Prions are more resistant to steam sterilization than conventional transmissible agents. Extremely resistant to dry heat: a treatment of 360 deg C for one hour has been reported not to be completely effective. It's through exports of rendered products by a British company that BSE could have been spread across the world (70 countries received protein potentially contaminated with BSE that may then have been fed to their cattle). The BSE scare has kind of killed the market worldwide for rendered products. Tallow prices are probably generally lower, wherever you are.
