The U.S. government is conducting tests on ground beef samples from retail stores in states with bird flu outbreaks in dairy cows, while assuring the meat supply remains safe. This follows the confirmation of the H5N1 virus in 34 dairy cattle herds across nine states and in one person in Texas. Despite the low overall public health risk, precautions are being taken, including requiring dairy cows to test negative for bird flu before moving across state lines. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is also analyzing beef muscle samples from dairy cattle that have been condemned and cooking ground beef containing a 'virus surrogate' at different temperatures to assess virus inactivation. Colombia has restricted the import of beef and beef products from states where dairy cows have tested positive for avian influenza.

Both the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization have said the overall public health risk is low, but is higher for those with exposure to infected animals. Scientists believe outbreaks are more widespread in cows than officially reported based on findings of H5N1 particles in about 20% of milk samples. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Friday that preliminary results of gold-standard PCR tests showed pasteurization killed the bird flu virus in milk, though. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will analyze retail ...
