Due to the worst bird flu outbreak ever, England and Wales are temporarily easing rules on defrosted poultry meat products. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has permitted farmers to slaughter flocks early and freeze the meat, which can then be sold after defrosting. This decision, made to address the impact of the bird flu outbreak on supply, applies from Nov. 28 to Dec. 31, 2022.
