Canadian milk tests for bird flu come up nil
June 24, 2024
There are no traces of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in domestic milk, as far as Canadian authorities can find.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says the latest testing, which put 600 retail milk samples under the microscope, has not found evidence of the virus. Testing was done in collaboration with the Public Health Agency of Canada and Health Canada.
That echoes negative findings reported in May. At that time, the CFIA had tested 142 milk samples and found no evidence of HPAI or other dairy disease.
