Tyson Foods: Avian Flu Outbreak Not a Food Safety or Human Health Concern
A Tennessee chicken farm that supplies meat to Tyson Foods is confirmed to have a deadly form of bird flu, prompting South Asia to reject imports of American chicken.
A breeding flock of more than 73,000 chickens was found to be infected with highly-pathogenic H7 avian influenza (HPAI). The farm in Lincoln County, TN has since been placed under quarantine and the entire flock was destroyed in an effort to keep the bird flu from spreading.
