As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, California's poultry farms are dealing with significant avian flu outbreaks, raising questions about the safety of consuming turkey this season.
Highly pathogenic avian influenza causes significant mortality in poultry and has led to the culling of over 4 million turkeys and chickens in California alone.
The CDC emphasizes that avian flu is not spread between humans, but is transmitted by infected birds through various secretions, including saliva, feces, and body fluids.
Despite concerns about bird flu's presence in food products, food safety officials maintain that properly cooked poultry remains safe for consumption this Thanksgiving.
