From sourcing to cleaning practices, we exceed industry standards to ensure the highest quality. Here's how we prioritize safety every step of the way.
What Is Avian Influenza?
Avian influenza, or "bird flu" is a viral infection that primarily affects birds Certain strains, like H5N1, can spread to other animals, including cats, and pose health risks if poultry isn't properly processed or handled.
How is spreads:
The virus spreads through contact with infected wild birds or contaminated environments.
Risks in Raw Meat:
Without proper safeguards, the virus can persist in raw poultry posing a risk to pets & humans.
While these risks are rare, understanding how poultry is sourced and handled is key to addressing concerns.
USDA Safeguards and Risk Mitigation
The USDA implements strict safeguards to ensure infected poultry does not enter the food supply:
Testing of Live Birds: Birds from outbreak areas are tested for avian influenza before processing.
Inspection Processing: Ill or abnormal birds are excluded and post-harvest inspections ensure only healthy birds are processed. Inspectors conduct ante-mortem (live) and post-mortem (carcass) inspections to identify any signs of illness.
Facility Oversight: USDA-inspected plants follow stringent cleaning and biosecurity protocols
Quarantine & Reporting: Flocks with confirmed AI are quarantined & culled to prevent further spread and their meat does not enter the food chain. Sick birds are sent to rendering plants.
Cross-Contamination Prevention: Processing facilities adhere to strict sanitation protocols to avoid contamination outbreaks.
