Study Shows Avian Flu Does Not Pose Food Safety Risk in Various Pasteurized Dairy Products
Another study demonstrating the effectiveness of pasteurization for the inactivation of avian influenza in dairy products has been published—this time, focused on dairy products other than milk.
As the ongoing Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 (HPAI H5N1) outbreak continues to affect North American dairy herds, several studies have examined whether the virus poses a food safety risk in pasteurized milk. The science has shown that, although HPAI can be detected in cow’s milk, pasteurization inactivates the virus, rendering it non-infectious and therefore not a risk to public health. (Raw dairy, however, could potentially contain live HPAI H5N1 virus, and experts advise against consuming it).

Possible evidence of windborne H5N1 viral infections in chickens
A team of government veterinarians with the State Veterinary Institute Prague in the Czech Republic has found possible evidence of windborne H5N1 infections in chickens. In their paper posted on the bioRxiv preprint server, the group describes how chickens in a closed environment became infected with the H5N1 virus despite no contact with other chickens, wild birds, or their feces, leaving the wind as the only likely source.
