Low Risk of Bird Flu from Eggs Amid Outbreak in the U.S.

Credited from: NEWSWEEK

  • Bird flu can be contracted from eggs, but the risk is deemed very low for Americans, according to a risk assessment from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
  • Currently, 66 people in the U.S. have been infected with the highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) virus, with a recent death reported in Louisiana.
  • Although it's possible to contract bird flu from raw eggs, the risk of public infection is low, as the virus primarily spreads through exposure to infected animals.
  • The USDA's assessment shows that over 95 percent of contaminated eggs do not reach consumers, and pasteurized eggs are safe to eat.
  • To ensure safety, eggs should be cooked until both the white and yolk are firm, and any dishes containing eggs should be consumed immediately or stored properly.
