Latest bird flu situation
We are currently responding to cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in birds across Canada. Avian influenza is spreading across the globe. Anyone with birds must practice good biosecurity habits to protect poultry and prevent disease. HPAI is not a food safety concern. There is no evidence to suggest that eating cooked poultry or eggs could transmit HPAI to humans.
