The experiment aimed to evaluate the risks to the public health caused by Cysticercosis and taeniase due to bovine meat infection by Cysticercus bovis and Taeniarhyncus saginatus (Taenia saginata, Goeze, 1782). The research focused on the light infection level, concerning it on a slaughterhouse basis, in Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. The research was concerned in finding a unique dead Cysticercus while searching for other cysticerci, specially viable ones, through the slicing of the most valuable muscular mass of the carcass (hind cuts). Five (31,25%) out of the 16 carcasses used in the experiment indicated the presence of Cysticercus in one of their sliced noble cuts, viable cysticerci were found in the other 3 lasting carcasses (18,75%). The experiment, based on available literature and several countries regulations, allowed us to recommend to the " Divisão de Inspeção de Produtos de Origem Animal " of the Agriculture Ministry and Agrarian Reform the review over the article 176, paragraph 2, inc.3, of the " Industrial and Sanitary Inspection of Animal Products" regulation that permites the use of carcasses which have presented a single dead cyst for consumption without any previous treatment.
