Description
Avian influenza (AI), a virus commonly known as the "bird flu," is a infectious disease of birds caused by type A strains of the influenza virus.
Experts believe AI is being spread primarily through wild migratory waterfowl and backyard flocks. The virus can also be spread from infected flocks to other farms via contaminated equipment, clothing and shoes, cages or transportation vehicles.
To date, there is no evidence that AI can be transmitted through food. As a reminder, however, the best way to reduce the risk of food-borne illness is to thoroughly cook all eggs and poultry products at recommended temperatures and to use appropriate food handling techniques including washing hands, counter tops and any utensils that come in contact with food.
